Components and Partitions1. PartitionsLet $X$ be a space. A partition of $X$ is the collection of disjoint subspaces of $X$ such that the union equals $X$. Example: $[0,1]$ and $(1,2]$ are partitions of $[0,2]$.Example: $[0,1]$ and $[1,2]$ are not partitions because they are not disjoint.2. ComponentsComponents are equivalence classes by defining the equivalence relation $\sim$ so that $x\sim y$..
