Source work progress
* : $\S 3.3$: Neighborhoods and Neighborhood Spaces: Exercise $3$
 * Got bogged down in Neighborhood Spaces, and I have basically skipped the exercises. Reworking.


 * Rechecked again, satisfactory now up to here -- $\S 1.10$ exercises to be completed (bogged down in cartesian products)


 * : Chapter $1$: Theory of Sets: $\S 10$: Arbitrary Products: Exercise $1$


 * Continuing with chapter $2$ from


 * : Chapter $2$: Metric Spaces: $\S 2$: Metric Spaces: Definition $2.1$
