Consider the metric space X=\mathbb{R} (with the usual metric d(x,y)=|x-y|). Let E=(0,1).

Find several examples of sets
Y\subset \mathbb{R}such thatE\subset YandEis closed inY.
Example:Y=E,Eis closed inY.
We can prove this using normal ways, or Theorem 2.23Eis closed inY\iff E^cis open inY
Y\iff E^c=\phiand it's open.Y=\mathbb{R}\backslash\{0,1\}
Y\backslash E=(-\infty,0)\cup (1,\infty)Theorem 2.30E\subset Y\subset X,Eis open inY\iff\exists Gopen inXsuch thatG\cap Y=E
G\cap Y=Y\backslash EAnd we knowY\backslash Eis open inY. By Theorem 2.23Eis closed inY.

If
Yis as in part 1, we can conclude thatEis closed and bounded iny. Part of Theorem 2.41 says: "If a set is closed and bounded, then it is compact." Why doesn't that theorem apply here.
The set is not closed in\mathbb{R}^k.

Connected sets
Definition 2.45
A,B\subset X, we say A and B are separated in X if A\cup \overline{B}=\phi and \overline{A}\cup B=\phi
E\subset Xdisconnected inXif\existsnonempty separatedA,B\subset Xsuch thatE=A\cup BE\subset Xis connected inXif it is not disconnected.
Example 2.46
(0,1),(1,2) are separated [so (0,1)\cup (1,2) is disconnected]
[0,1],(1,2) are not separated [so $[0,1]\cup (1,2)={1}$] So this doesn't tell us where [0,1]\cup (1,2) is connected or not.
Theorem 2.47
Suppose E\subset \mathbb{R}
E is connected \iff \forall (x,y,z) with x,y\in E,x<z<y such that z\in E.
By negating, this is equivalent to
E is disconnected \iff \exists (x,y,z) with x,y\in E,x<z<y such that z\notin E.
Proof:
\impliedby
Suppose \exists (x,y,z) with x,y\in E,x<z<y such that z\notin E.
Let A=(-\infty,z)\cap E,B=(z,\infty)\cap E
Lemma: E\subset F\implies \overline{E}\subset \overline{F}
Since A\subset (-\infty,z), \overline{A}\subset (-\infty,z]
Since \overline{A}\cap B=\phi, similarly, A\cap \overline{B}=\phi. So A,B are separated. Also they are non empty (x\in A,y\in B) and E=A\cap B. So E is disconnected.
\implies
Suppose \exists nonempty separated A,B\subset X such that E=A\cup B.
Our goal is to find x,y\in E,x<z<y such that z\notin E.
A\neq \phi,B\neq \phi\implies \exists x\in A,y\in B
Without loss of generality, assume x<y.
Let w=sup(A\cup [x,y]), w\in \overline{A\cup [x,y]} (by Theorem 2.28) This implies w\subset \overline{A} and w\in [x,y]
Since A,B are separated, w\notin B (\overline{A}\cup B=\phi).
Since y\in B, w\in [x,y)
Consider 2 cases,
Case 1. w\notin A.
let z=w, and x,y,z satisfy the desired properties
Case 2. w\in A
Since A,B are separated, w\notin \overline{B} (A\cup \overline{B}=\phi).
Thus, \exists r>0 such that (w-r,w+r)\cap B=\phi.
Let z=w+\frac{r}{2}, then x,y,z satisfy the desired properties.

Numerical Sequences
Notations
Rudin use \{p_n\} to denote a sequence p_1,p_2.
To avoid confusion with sets, we use (p_n)_{n=1}^\infty or (p_n)
Definition 3.1
Let (X,d) be a metric space. Let (p_n) be a sequence in X.
Let p\in X. We say (p_x) converges to p if \forall \varepsilon>0,\exists N\in\mathbb{N} such that \forall n\geq N, d(p_n,p)<\varepsilon. (p_n\in B_\varepsilon (p))
Notation \lim_{n\to \infty} p_n=p, p_n\to p
We say (p_n) converges if \exists p\in X such that p_n\to p.
i.e. \exists p\in X such that \forall\varepsilon>0,\exists N\in\mathbb{N} such that \forall n\geq N,d(p_n,p)<\varepsilon
We say (p_n) diverges if (p_n) doesn't converge.
i.e. \forall p\in X, p_n\cancel{\to} p
i.e. \forall p\in X such that \exists \varepsilon>0,\forall N\in\mathbb{N} such that \exists n\geq N,d(p_n,p)\geq\varepsilon
Definition 3.2
We say a sequence (p_n) is bounded if \exists x\in X, \forall r>0 such that \forall n\in \mathbb{N},p_n\in B_r(x)
Example:
X=\mathbb{C}, s_n=\frac{1}{n}
Then s_n\to 0 i.e. \forall \varepsilon>0 \exists N\in \mathbb{N} such that \forall n\geq N, |s_n-0|<\varepsilon.
Proof:
Let \varepsilon >0 (arbitrary)
Let N\in \mathbb{N} be greater than \frac{1}{\varepsilon} (by Archimedean property) e.g. N=\frac{1}{\varepsilon}+1 (we choose N)
Let n\geq N (arbitrary)
Then |s_n-q|=\frac{1}{n}\leq \frac{1}{N}\leq \varepsilon
