Homework Statement


is there are a set with countably infinite number of accumulation points?


Homework Equations



is there a set with exactly two distinct accumulation points?

The Attempt at a Solution


a set with two accumulation points might be: {1/n + (-1)^n}
i have no clue about the countably infinite one

hope someone could help!

thx a lot

Your idea is fine, but be sure to write it correctly (with an ": n in N").

I'd prefer not to spoon feed you an example for the other; rather, consider perhaps a set (in R) that depends on two natural numbers. Say, \{y_n, y_n + x_m: n, m \in \mathbb{N}\}, which you might construct so that \lim_{m\to\infty} x_m = 0 and so, for each fixed n, \lim_{m\to\infty} y_n+x_m=y_n.

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
