Target Context
- The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any topological space and any point on any subspace, the intersection of any neighborhood of the point on the base space and the subspace is a neighborhood on the subspace.

Main Body
1: Description
For any topological space, \(T\), any subspace, \(T_1 \subseteq T\), any point, \(p \in T_1\), and any neighborhood, \(N_p \subseteq T\), of \(p\) on \(T\), \(N_p \cap T_1\) is a neighborhood of \(p\) on \(T_1\).
2: Proof
\(p \in N_p \cap T_1\). There is an open neighborhood, \(U_p \subseteq N_p\), of \(p\) on \(T\). \(U_p \cap T_1 \subseteq N_p \cap T_1\) is an open neighborhood of \(p\) on \(T_1\), because \(p \in U_p \cap T_1\) and \(U_p \cap T_1\) is open on \(T_1\).
