Let [ilmath](X,\mathcal{ J })[/ilmath] be a topological space and let [ilmath]A\in\mathcal{P}(X)[/ilmath] be an arbitrary subset of [ilmath]X[/ilmath]. We say "[ilmath]A[/ilmath] is dense in [ilmath]X[/ilmath] if[1]:
- [ilmath]\overline{A}=X[/ilmath] - that is to say that the closure of [ilmath]A[/ilmath] is the entirety of [ilmath]X[/ilmath] itself.
Some authors give the following equivalent definition to [ilmath]A[/ilmath] being dense[2]:
- [ilmath]\forall U\in\mathcal{J}\exists a\in A[U\ne\emptyset\implies y\in U][/ilmath], which is obviously equivalent to: [ilmath]\forall U\in\mathcal{J}[U\ne\emptyset \implies A\cap U\ne\emptyset][/ilmath] (see Claim 1 below)

Metric spaces definition
Let [ilmath](X,d)[/ilmath] me a metric space, we say that [ilmath]E\in\mathcal{P}(X)[/ilmath] (so [ilmath]E[/ilmath] is an arbitrary subset of [ilmath]X[/ilmath]) if[2]:
- [ilmath]\forall x\in X\forall\epsilon>0[B_\epsilon(x)\cap E\ne\emptyset][/ilmath] - where [ilmath]B_r(x)[/ilmath] denotes the open ball of radius [ilmath]r[/ilmath], centred at [ilmath]x[/ilmath]
- In words: Every open ball at every point overlaps with [ilmath]E[/ilmath]. (i.e: every open ball at every point contains at least 1 point in common with [ilmath]E[/ilmath])
- This is equivalent to [ilmath]\forall x\in X\forall\epsilon>0\exists y\in E[y\in B_\epsilon(x)][/ilmath]Found in:[3] (see Claim 1)[Note 1]
Claim 2: for a metric space [ilmath](X,d)[/ilmath] a subset, [ilmath]E\in\mathcal{P}(X)[/ilmath] is dense in the metric sense if and only if it is dense in [ilmath](X,\mathcal{ J })[/ilmath] where [ilmath]J[/ilmath] is the topology induced by the metric [ilmath]d[/ilmath].

Notes
- ↑ This is a trivial restatement of the claim and not worth going on its own page, unless it can be generalised (eg detached from dense-ness)
