  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. Proof of Continuous compounding formula - Mathematics Stack …

    Following is the formula to calculate continuous compounding A = P e^(RT) Continuous Compound Interest Formula where, P = principal amount (initial investment) r = annual interest rate (as a

  3. real analysis - How to show a function is absolutely continuous ...

    Aug 5, 2015 · 5 The Cantor function (or the Devil's staircase) provides an example of a continuous function that is not absolutely continuous.

  4. Difference between continuity and uniform continuity

    Jan 27, 2014 · To understand the difference between continuity and uniform continuity, it is useful to think of a particular example of a function that's continuous on $\mathbb R$ but not uniformly …

  5. How does the existence of a limit imply that a function is uniformly ...

    Then the theorem that says that any continuous function on a compact set is uniformly continuous can be applied. The arguments above are a workaround this.

  6. The definition of continuous function in topology

    Mar 7, 2013 · 22 I am self-studying general topology, and I am curious about the definition of the continuous function. I know that the definition derives from calculus, but why do we define it like …

  7. What does it mean that "every metric is continuous"?

    Jun 11, 2025 · 6 "Every metric is continuous" means that a metric $d$ on a space $X$ is a continuous function in the topology on the product $X \times X$ determined by $d$.

  8. Topological properties preserved by continuous maps

    You'll find topological properties with indication of whether they are preserved by (various kinds of) continuous maps or not (such as open maps, closed maps, quotient maps, perfect maps, etc.). For …
