Open Covers, Finite Subcovers, and Compact Sets | Real Analysis
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

Please please keep making these! The number of creators who make quality undergrad maths content is VERY VERY small. Your videos have been so helpful for my first year :)
This is a great video, sucks that higher level math doesn't do well on youtube. Thank you
Thank you for the quality content! Im loving these Real Analysis videos.❤

Thank you for watching! More real analysis videos to come this summer, I find they take the longest to make!
Taking my first real analysis class and this video really helped with understanding covers! Thank you so much.

I certainly will! Which equivalence are you looking for, the open cover definition of compact sets and closed/boundedness?
@ashleyjuarez9563

yeah and also, K is closed/bounded and every open cover for K has a finite subcover

I really appreciate your videos. This real analysis series with the book I'm reading by Jay Cummings is of a great match!please up load more!!!!

So glad they've been helpful - thanks for watching! My playlist is mostly based on Jay's book and the Stephen Abbott text - at least so far, so it's definitely a good match! I intend on making many more this summer. Also, Jay Cummings appeared in my TI-108 documentary, if you're curious and have an hour+ to spare: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqah09GEk8vZoNI.html&pp=ygUFdGkxMDg%3D

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
Жыл бұрын
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.

What literature would you recommend as an alternative for this video? [I learn better from reading than watching videos.]

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.)
Painful to listen to without turning the volume down lol

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.
