  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 a continuous extension? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    To find examples and explanations on the internet at the elementary calculus level, try googling the phrase "continuous extension" (or variations of it, such as "extension by continuity") simultaneously …

  3. What's the difference between continuous and piecewise continuous ...

    Oct 15, 2016 · A continuous function is a function where the limit exists everywhere, and the function at those points is defined to be the same as the limit. I was looking at the image of a piecewise 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. 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 $d$.

  6. Continuous Poisson Distribution - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 25, 2021 · There are different types of continuous extensions of Poisson distribution. I favor the one presented in this paper: "Continuous counterparts of Poisson and binomial distributions and their …

  7. Proof that the continuous image of a compact set is compact

    I know that the image of a continuous function is bounded, but I'm having trouble when it comes to prove this for vectorial functions. If somebody could help me with a step-to-step proof, that would be great.

  9. Is there any intuition for continuous embeddings?

    Jan 1, 2026 · Let X, Y X, Y be topological spaces and X ⊂ Y X ⊂ Y. X X is said to be continuously embedded in Y Y if the inclusion map i: X → Y i: X → Y, x ↦ x x ↦ x, is continuous. The definition …

  10. What's the fastest way to tell if a function is uniformly continuous or ...

    On the smaller closed interval the derivative is bounded; on the entire open interval the function does have vertical asymptotes and cannot be uniformly continuous. Re Dan Fisher's example of $\sqrt x …
