Definition:Discrete Topology/Countable

Definition
Let $S \ne \varnothing$ be an infinite set.

Let $\tau = \mathcal P \left({S}\right)$ be the power set of $S$.

Let $S$ be a countably infinite set.

Then $\tau = \mathcal P \left({S}\right)$ is a countable discrete topology, and $\left({S, \tau}\right) = \left({S, \mathcal P \left({S}\right)}\right)$ is a countable discrete space.
