A topological space is a set $X$ together with a collection $T$ of subsets of $X$. The elements of $T$ are called the open sets and they satisfy the following properties:

  1. $X\in T$ and $\emptyset \in T$.
  2. Arbitrary unions of open sets are open.
  3. Finite intersections of open sets are open.

$T$ is called a topology on $X$.
