Theorem statement

Given a metric space (X,d), the following are equivalent[1][Note 1]:

  1. X is compact
  2. Every sequence in X has a subsequence that converges (AKA: having a convergent subsequence)
  3. X is totally bounded and complete

Proof

[Expand]

1)2): X is compact (an)n=1  a sub-sequence (akn)n=1 that coverges in X
