Real Number Line is Lindelöf

Theorem

Let $\struct {\R, \tau_d}$ be the real number line with the usual (Euclidean) topology.


Then $\struct {\R, \tau_d}$ is Lindelöf.


Proof

From Real Number Line is Second-Countable we have that $\struct {\R, \tau_d}$ is a second-countable space.

The result follows from Second-Countable Space is Lindelöf.
