Subspace topology is a way to create a new topological space from a given topological space by restricting the open sets to a subset of that space. This involves taking a subset and considering it with the open sets inherited from the larger space, making it an essential concept in understanding how different spaces relate to one another. It highlights the importance of open sets in defining the structure of a space and allows for the exploration of topological properties within smaller, more manageable contexts.
congrats on reading the definition of Subspace Topology. now let's actually learn it.
