Common Definitions
There are several common (and equivalent) definitions to the boundary of a subset S of a topological space X:
- the closure of S without the interior of S: ∂S = S \ So.
- the intersection of the closure of S with the closure of its complement: ∂S = S ∩ (X \ S).
- the set of points p of X such that every neighborhood of p contains at least one point of S and at least one point not of S.

“What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.”
