Homework Statement



Consider the set in E^2 of points {(x,y)|(x,y)=(1/n,1-1/n), where n is a positive integar}. Find the limit points, interior points and boundary points. Determine whether this set is open or closed.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I figured, 0,1 must be the boundary points of the set but a mate claims they are the limit points instead that has brought me into this confusion of what exactly is the difference between the two.

"0" and "1" can't be boundary points of the set. This set is in R2- all points in it, all boundary points, all limit points, etc. must be of the form (a, b), an ordered pair of numbers, not a number. You and your mate both need to rethink the entire problem!
