Compactness is a generalization of closed and bounded.<br>
;Definitions
* (Sequence) A set is sequentially compact if for every sequence from the set, there exists a subsequence which converges to a point in the set.
* (Topology) A set is compact if for every covering by infinitely many open sets, there exists a covering by a finite subset of the open sets.
;Notes
* A set is sequentially compact iff it is closed and bounded
