Fixed math statement.

| Oct 13, 2011 at 13:58 | comment | added | David White | Wow, I never knew this! I always figured the strange definition was to give nice properties, but in fact the nice properties are all for locally compact Hausdorff spaces (e.g. they are characterized by being open subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces), so I'm guessing point-set topology courses everywhere could just use the standard "locally <blank>" definition and avoid this confusion completely. | |
