In mathematical analysis and related areas of mathematics, a set is called bounded, if it is, in a certain sense, of finite size. Conversely, a set which is not bounded is called unbounded. The word bounded makes no sense in a general topological space, without a metric.

Famous quotes containing the words bounded and/or set:
“I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of
infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Here did she fall a tear. Here in this place
I’ll set a bank of rue, sour herb-of-grace.
Rue even for ruth here shortly shall be seen
In the remembrance of a weeping queen.”
