Open and closed intervals. When the end-points of an interval are included in it, the interval is said to be closed; if the end-points are not included, the interval is open. The set [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] , also written [Equation], is a closed interval; the set [Equation], also written [Equation], is a open interval. An interval of the form [Equation] is called a finite interval; one of the form [Equation] is an infinite interval.
