Theorem statement

Given a metric space (X,d), the following are equivalent[1][Note 1]:

  1. X is compact
  2. Every sequence in X has a subsequence that converges (AKA: having a convergent subsequence)
  3. X is totally bounded and complete

Proof

[Expand]

1)⟹2): X is compact ⟹ ∀(an)∞n=1⊆X ∃ a sub-sequence (akn)∞n=1 that coverges in X

[Expand]

2)⟹3): Suppose for all sequences (xn)∞n=1⊆X then (X,d) is a complete metric space and is totally bounded


TODO: Rest
