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

Explore Solution 1.25 (a).  Find the interior of S.

Let  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_144.gif] be a point of  S.  Then  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_145.gif]  so that we can choose  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_146.gif].  If  z  lies in the disk  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_147.gif],  then  

[Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_148.gif].  

Hence the [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_149.gif]-neighborhood of  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_150.gif]  is contained in  S,  and  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyMod_gr_151.gif]  is an interior point of  S.  It follows that the interior of  S  is the open unit disk.
