Example 1.25.  Let  [Graphics:Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_127.gif].  (b) Find the exterior of S.  

Explore Solution 1.25 (b). Find the exterior of S.

If  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_158.gif] then a similar argument will produce an [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_159.gif]-neighborhood of  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_160.gif]  that lies entirely in the region  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_161.gif],  hence [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_162.gif]  is an exterior point of  S.  It follows that the exterior of  S  is the open region  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_163.gif].
