  2. Number line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_line

    The real line is a linear continuum under the standard < ordering. Specifically, the real line is linearly ordered by <, and this ordering is dense and has the least-upper-bound property. In addition to the above properties, the real line has no maximum or minimum element. It also has a countable dense subset, namely the set of rational numbers.

  3. Extended real number line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_real_number_line

    In mathematics, the extended real number system [a] is obtained from the real number system by adding two elements denoted + and [b] that are respectively greater and lower than every real number. This allows for treating the potential infinities of infinitely increasing sequences and infinitely decreasing series as actual infinities .

  4. Lindelöf's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindelöf's_lemma

    Let the real line have its standard topology. Then every open subset of the real line is a countable union of open intervals. Generalized Statement

  5. Real projective space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_projective_space

    In mathematics, real projective space, denoted ⁠ ⁠ or ⁠ (), ⁠ is the topological space of lines passing through the origin 0 in the real space ⁠ +. ⁠ It is a compact , smooth manifold of dimension n , and is a special case ⁠ G r ( 1 , R n + 1 ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {Gr} (1,\mathbb {R} ^{n+1})} ⁠ of a Grassmannian space.

  6. General topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_topology

    General topology grew out of a number of areas, most importantly the following: the detailed study of subsets of the real line (once known as the topology of point sets; this usage is now obsolete) the introduction of the manifold concept; the study of metric spaces, especially normed linear spaces, in the early days of functional analysis.

  7. Lindelöf space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindelöf_space

    The usual example of this is the Sorgenfrey plane, which is the product of the real line under the half-open interval topology with itself. Open sets in the Sorgenfrey plane are unions of half-open rectangles that include the south and west edges and omit the north and east edges, including the northwest, northeast, and southeast corners.

  8. Real analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_analysis

    Many of the theorems of real analysis are consequences of the topological properties of the real number line. The order properties of the real numbers described above are closely related to these topological properties. As a topological space, the real numbers has a standard topology, which is the order topology induced by order <.

  9. Lower limit topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_limit_topology

    The Sorgenfrey line can thus be used to study right-sided limits: if : is a function, then the ordinary right-sided limit of at (when the codomain carries the standard topology) is the same as the usual limit of at when the domain is equipped with the lower limit topology and the codomain carries the standard topology.
