  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 …

  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") …

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

    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 …

  4. 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 …

  5. 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 $x=0$.

  6. 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 …

  7. Absolutely continuous functions - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jan 12, 2015 · 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 …

  8. Differentiability implies continuity - A question about the proof

    Jun 6, 2015 · In my mind it seems to say, if a function is continuous, we can show that if it is also differentiable, then it is continuous. Rather than what I was expecting, namely, if a function is …

  9. calculus - Are functions considered continuous at endpoints ...

    Consider a function f(x) f (x) that has no jump, infinite, or removable discontinuities in the middle anywhere -- but maybe the domain is limited: Would the endpoint [a, [a, be considered …

  10. Discrete vs Continuous vs Random Variables - Mathematics Stack …

    Dec 28, 2015 · Typically the range of a continuous random variable is $\mathbb {R}$, $ [0,\infty)$, or some interval $ [a,b]$. Examples of continuous random distributions are the normal …
