Metric spaces and open sets
Distance made abstract; open balls, open and closed sets, continuity.
A metric is any distance obeying symmetry, positivity and the triangle inequality. Open sets are unions of open balls; a function is continuous when preimages of open sets are open. No ε needed once the open sets are known. Picture it: the open disc around a point, and the same idea with the "taxicab" distance making diamonds. Think it: topology keeps the open sets and throws the metric away.
Esempio svolto · distance between (1,2) and (4,6)
Passo dopo passo
- \Delta x = 3,\ \Delta y = 4
Differences of the coordinates.
- d = \sqrt{\Delta x^2 + \Delta y^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = 5
Distance formula (Pythagoras).

Domande che la gente chiede
Why "a doughnut is a coffee cup"?
Each can be deformed into the other without cutting or gluing: one hole each. Topology studies exactly the properties such deformations preserve.
What is compactness for?
It is the property that makes "every sequence has a convergent subsequence" and "continuous functions attain their maximum" true. On the real line it means closed and bounded.
