The set S in the complex plane define some Euclidean area.
We first define the concept of neighborhood. A neighborhood of a point z is the set that contains all points such that

In other words, the neighborhood of z is a set that contains all the points inside a circle centered about z and has a radius

z is an interior point of the set if there exists such that
An interior point of S is a point which is included in S and all the points around it within an infinitesimally small radius are also members of the set S.
All the interior points of S form a set called the interior of S and is denoted by

Example.
The point is an interior point of the set which is the right half complex plane. If we choose then for any we define

So:

And

Therefore
So we found such that any point that satisfies is in the set S, therefore is an interior point ...
