Incorrect definition

edit

The changes made by Deepmath in August 2009 makes the definition of adherent point incompatible with the definition of limit point in Limit point. Deepmath's definition is also incompatible with the definition in Apostol's Mathematical Analysis that I have in front of me.

I agree that this needs to be changed back to the way it was before. An adherent point of a set is a point in the closure of the set, that's all. What's described here is a cluster point, or accumulation point. 216.239.65.157 (talk) 18:46, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
I agree also, and have correct the definition. Paul August 19:19, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Intuition

I added the "intuition"-sentence, as it would have saved me quite some time. I Would appreciate if someone verified it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.230.167.126 (talk) 09:13, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
