The Open Subsets of a Metric Space Form a Topology

The open subsets of a metric space form a topology on the underlying set.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, and let Td\mathcal{T}_{d} be the set of all U∈P(X)U\in\mathcal{P}(X) that are open in (X,d)(X,d).

Td\mathcal{T}_{d} is a topology on XX, so (X,Td)(X,\mathcal{T}_{d}) is a topological space.
