Definition
The "usual topology" or "standard topology" on the reals, [ilmath]\mathbb{R} [/ilmath] is the topology induced by the standard metric on the reals, which is the absolute value metric, [ilmath]d:\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} [/ilmath] by [ilmath]d:(a,b)\mapsto \vert a-b\vert [/ilmath].
Said otherwise, given the metric space [ilmath](\mathbb{R},\vert\cdot\vert)[/ilmath] then the "standard topology of the reals" is the topology induced by this metric space
