  • We introduce coverings of sets, finite subcovers, and compact sets in the context of real analysis. These concepts will be critical in our continuing discussion of the topology of the reals. The definition of a compact set, in particular, is surprisingly fundamental, and we will provide and prove equivalent definitions of compactness in other videos. For now, we say a set A is compact if every open cover of the set A contains a finite subcover. #realanalysis

      I try to make the volume loud and clear so anyone on a phone can hear easily. I notice on my phone sometimes the videos are a little hard to hear even on max volume. But I know I’ve gone overboard a couple of times haha, I hope the video was helpful otherwise.

    At 8:48 are you saying that the first example (0,2) : {(1/k, 2-1/k)} will not have a finite subcover because if we restrict the indexing set of k from 1 to infinity then it will always be impossible for that set to be able to cover (0,2). If other words k must go from 0 to infinity for {(1/k, 2-1/k)} to cover (0,2)? Is that line of thinking correct? Many thanks for all the Real Analysis videos, you have been a great help with my degree 😄

    You say "any index set" but it seems only countable sets are used. What would happen if we specified a, say subset of the reals as the index set. Take the unit interval of R as the index for example. What then? (No this is not any homework problem.)

    Hello, thank you very much for making the video, it helped me a lot. And please excuse my not good english. And i have a question on the third example that is about open cover of [0,2]. You wrote union between two sets and i think then it would make it (-0.1, 2.4) which is not family of sets, then i think it can't be the cover. But if you write it differently like {"the family of sets", (-0.1, 0.1), (1.8, 2.4)} then i think it can be a cover of [0,2]. (but i am not that sure of it and if i am wrong please correct me, thank you)

    Hey, I have a question
    At 10:20 You said wasn't (-2,1) compact because every one of its open covers did not have a finite subcover, So what is "every open cover" in that example and how do they not contain finite subcovers?

    • @WrathofMath
      @WrathofMath  Рік тому +1

      In that example we looked at one open cover which happened to have a finite subcover. We did not establish anything about "all open covers" of (-2,1) which would be necessary to establish compactness. I don't explicitly show you an open cover without a finite subcover because the previous example showed how an an open cover of an open interval could be constructed so that it has no finite subcovers, showing open intervals are not compact.
