Also, boobs. {{hausdorff.png?X350}} This notion is relevant for some limit concepts where neighbourhoods around a point become smaller and smaller. === Examples === Any [[metric space]]. === Non-examples === An ordered set like $\mathbb R$ and the right-ordered topology, i.e. the "infinite to the right" sets ${x\|\ x>a}$. Here a neighbourhood of $3$ can not be small enough to not contain the number $7$. === Reference === Wikipedia: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbourhood_%28mathematics%29|Neighbourhood]] ==== Parents ==== === Subset of === [[Topological space]] === Requirements === [[Neighbourhood]]
