The Heine-Borel Theorem states that a subset of Euclidean space is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded. This theorem provides a critical link between the concepts of compactness, which relates to the behavior of sequences and open covers, and the characteristics of open and closed sets, highlighting how these properties interact in a topological space.
congrats on reading the definition of Heine-Borel Theorem. now let's actually learn it.
