  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. 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 …

  3. 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 …

  4. 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 …

  5. real analysis - Prove that every convex function is continuous ...

    The authors prove the proposition that every proper convex function defined on a finite-dimensional separated topological linear space is continuous on the interior of its effective domain. You can likely …

  6. Closure of continuous image of closure - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Nov 14, 2012 · Closure of continuous image of closure Ask Question Asked 13 years, 4 months ago Modified 13 years, 4 months ago

  7. Why is the determinant continuous? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Here you want to refer to the topology of the latter as a normed space, which does not depend on the norm since they are all equivalent in finite dimension. Then the determinant is a polynomial in the …

  8. Why not include as a requirement that all functions must be …

    Jun 20, 2018 · We know that differentiable functions must be continuous, so we define the derivative to only be in terms of continuous functions. But then, the fact that differentiable functions are …

  9. 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 …

  10. Prove the absolute value function of a continuous function is ...
