We introduce coverings of sets, finite subcovers, and compact sets in the context of real analysis. These concepts will be critical in our continuing discussion of the topology of the reals. The definition of a compact set, in particular, is surprisingly fundamental, and we will provide and prove equivalent definitions of compactness in other videos. For now, we say a set A is compact if every open cover of the set A contains a finite subcover. #realanalysis
