SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the identification of limit points and isolated points within various mathematical sets. The sets analyzed include sequences and intervals, with specific conclusions drawn for each. For example, the limit point for the set \{1 - \frac{(-1)^n}{n}: n \in \mathbb{N}\} is 1, while the isolated points encompass the entire set. The analysis confirms that limit points for \mathbb{R} \backslash \mathbb{Q} are \mathbb{R}, with no isolated points present.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of limit points in topology
  • Familiarity with isolated points in mathematical sets
  • Knowledge of sequences and their convergence
  • Basic concepts of real numbers and rational numbers
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of limit points in metric spaces
  • Explore isolated points in different topological spaces
  • Learn about sequences and their convergence in real analysis
  • Investigate the implications of the usual topology on \mathbb{R}
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for mathematicians, students studying real analysis, and anyone interested in the concepts of topology and set theory.

Could somebody throw their hat in with me on these?

a. \{1- \frac{(-1)^n}{n}:n \in \mathbb{N} \}

Limit point = 1 , Isolated points are equal to the whole set

b. \{ (-1)^n + \frac{1}{n} : n \in \mathbb{N} \}

Limit points are -1 and 1, Isolated points are the whole set

c. (0,1) \cup 2

Limit points are [0,1], Isolated point is 2.

d. \mathbb{N}

Limit points none, Isolated points are \mathbb{N}

e. \mathbb{R} \backslash \mathbb{Q}

Limit points are \mathbb{R}, Isolated points are none.

f. \mathbb{Q} \cap (0,1)

Limits points are [0,1], Isolated points are none

If by limit/isolated points you mean limit/isolated points in R with its usual topology, then I agree with what you have.
 
Yes, thanks morphism.

I meant usual topology and R1. thanks
