Definition

Common form

For a Topological space (X,J), xX is a limit point of A if every neighborhood of x has a non-empty intersection with A that contains some point other than x itself.

Equivalent form

x is a limit point of A if xClosure(A{x}) (you can read about closure here)


TODO: Prove these are the same


Examples

0 is a limit point of (0,1)

Proof using first definition

Is is clear we are talking about the Euclidian metric

Proof using second definition
