Solution Summary

This provides an example of proving there are no cluster points in a set.

Solution Preview

In this problem, we need to use the following theorem:
Any infinite bounded set must have a cluster point.

Proof:
"=>": If S has no cluster point, I want to show that S intersection [-n, n] is a finite set for each n in N.
If not, we can find some n in N, such that S intersection [-n, n] is ...
