The definition of x being a limit point of a set A is "x € R such that V€ > 0, N₁(x)^A\ {x} ‡ Ø”. Write down statement of A does not have any limit point. Using the concept of open covers and explicitly avoiding the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem, prove that if A is a bounded infinite set, then A has a limit point. You may prove by contradiction and use Heine-Borel Theorem.
