Statement of theorem
Given a metric space [ilmath](X,d)[/ilmath], the following are equivalent[1][Note 1]:
- [ilmath]X[/ilmath] is compact
- Every sequence in [ilmath]X[/ilmath] has a subsequence that converges (AKA: having a convergent subsequence)
- [ilmath]X[/ilmath] is totally bounded and complete
Notes
- ↑ To say statements are equivalent means we have one [ilmath]\iff[/ilmath] one of the other(s)
