Reason: First published version: pointwise definition of the closure of a subset of a topological space, with the notation cl_X(A) and the overline abbreviation.

Statement

Let $(X,\mathcal{T})$ be a topological space, and let $A\subseteq X$ . The closure of $A$ in $X$ is the subset

\operatorname{cl}_X(A)=\{x\in X:\ U\cap A\neq\varnothing \text{ for every } U\in\mathcal{T} \text{ with } x\in U\}

of $X$ . Its elements are called the adherent points of $A$ in $X$ . When the ambient space $X$ is clear from context, the closure of $A$ in $X$ is also written $\overline{A}$ .
