What is the capital of Tunisia?

In French mathematics, what is the difference between fermé vs clos?

The usual word is fermé in topology (« un fermé est le complémentaire d’un ouvert » = “a closed set is the complement of an open set”), and clos for closure under operations (« corps algébriquement clos » = “algebraically closed field”; “clôture algébrique” = “algebraic closure”).

While there is a connection between the two concepts — a closed set in topology is closed under the operation “taking a limit”¹ — the two adjectives are not interchangeable. There are even cases where the two words have different meaning: the fermeture algébrique of a subfield K in a field L is the set of elements of the field L that are algebraic over the subfield L, whereas the clôture algébrique of K is an algebraically closed superfield, which is different if L is not algebraically closed.

¹ Restrictions apply. Consult a mathematics text for details.
