  1. Continuous vs Discrete Variables - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 14, 2025 · Both discrete and continuous variables generally do have changing values—and a discrete variable can vary continuously with time. I am quite aware that discrete variables are those …

  2. What is the formal definition of a continuous function?

    Aug 19, 2022 · The MIT supplementary course notes you linked to give — and use — the following (non-standard) definition: We say a function is continuous if its domain is an interval, and it is continuous …

  3. real analysis - Are Continuous Functions Always Differentiable ...

    Oct 26, 2010 · An interesting fact is that most (i.e. a co-meager set of) continuous functions are nowhere differentiable. The proof is a consequence of the Baire Category theorem and can be found (as an …

  4. general topology - A map is continuous if and only if for every set ...

    Nov 18, 2015 · A map is continuous if and only if for every set, the image of closure is contained in the closure of image

  5. What is the difference between discrete and continuous mathematics?

    Some people like discrete mathematics more than continuous mathematics, and others have a mindset suited more towards continuous mathematics - people just have different taste and interests. On the …

  6. calculus - Is a differentiable function always continuous ...

    Sep 14, 2014 · 9 Continuous Functions are not Always Differentiable. But can we safely say that if a function f (x) is differentiable within range $ (a,b)$ then it is continuous in the interval $ [a,b]$ . If so , …

  7. probability theory - Why does a C.D.F need to be right-continuous ...

    May 10, 2019 · Of course, the CDF of the always-zero random variable $0$ is the right-continuous unit step function, which differs from the above function only at the point of discontinuity at $x=0$.

  8. general topology - Sequentially continuous implies continuous ...

    Jul 2, 2017 · I think we can show that the identity $ (X, \tau_X)$ to $ (X,\tau')$ is sequentially continuous, and it is certainly not continuous. So in a way, being a sequential space is the natural notion here to …

  9. Absolutely continuous functions - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Sep 5, 2012 · This might probably be classed as a soft question. But I would be very interested to know the motivation behind the definition of an absolutely continuous function. To state "A real valued …

  10. What is the intuition for semi-continuous functions?

    A function is continuous if the preimage of every open set is an open set. (This is the definition in topology and is the "right" definition in some sense.) The definitions you cite of semicontinuities claim …
