  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 …

    12 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. Is the projection function in a normed space continuous?

    Dec 26, 2025 · (See e.g. Linear functional is continuous $\implies$ it is bounded for a proof that a continuous linear functional on a normed vector space must be bounded. This is also on Wikipedia.)

  4. Continuous group actions - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 18, 2025 · I was recently going through General Topology by N. Bourbaki, and found the following definition of topological groups acting continuously on topological spaces (slightly rephrased) : A …

  5. 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 …

  6. Showing that $\arctan$ is continuous - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jan 5, 2016 · As such, $\arctan$ is continuous. If you define $\arctan$ by integrals or power series the result is immediate (the first by the Lipshitz continuity of the indefinite integral and the second from …

  7. 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 …

  8. real analysis - Why are the rational numbers not continuous ...

    Apr 3, 2022 · So you can have continuous functions defined over rationals; but the rationals are not a continuum. Why not? The notion of a continuum has its roots in geometry, and -- in the barest …

  9. Meaning of the continuous spectrum and the residual spectrum

    Jan 8, 2017 · The reason one refers to this as "continuous spectrum" Historically had nothing to do with continuity; such spectrum was found to fill a continuum, rather than being discrete.

  10. Can a function have partial derivatives, be continuous but not be ...

    Sep 18, 2020 · By differentiability theorem if partial derivatives exist and are continuous in a neighborhood of the point then (i.e. sufficient condition) the function is differentiable at that point.
