Difference between closed and open intervals for continuous functions
Intuitively, a continuous function is allowed to misbehave at the endpoints of an open interval (because it doesn't have to be defined at the endpoints), but it must behave itself on a closed interval because …
Continuous versus differentiable - Mathematics Stack Exchange
A function is "differentiable" if it has a derivative. A function is "continuous" if it has no sudden jumps in it. Until today, I thought these were merely two equivalent definitions of the same c...
