Definition of first and second <strong>category</strong><br />

Second <strong>category</strong><br />

A set A ⊆ S is of second <strong>category</strong> when it is not of the first<br />

<strong>category</strong>.<br />

Via the <strong>Baire</strong> <strong>category</strong> <strong>theorem</strong> we will become able to give many<br />

examples - for example show that R is of the second <strong>category</strong> as a<br />

subset of itself. (As well as [0,1] ⊆ R).<br />

Subsequently we shall then see why the notion is usefull !<br />

Philosophically a set of second <strong>category</strong> is a large subset of S from<br />

the topological point of view.<br />
