Lower Division Math Foundations
An open interval is a set of real numbers that lies between two endpoints, where both endpoints are not included in the set. This concept highlights the idea that every number within the interval is a member, while the boundaries themselves are excluded. Open intervals are essential in understanding properties of real numbers, particularly regarding their ordering and the density of real numbers, as well as measuring distances and absolute values on the real line.
