Mathematics Homework: Continuous Functions and Limits - Prof. John Spielberg, Assignments of Mathematics

A mathematics homework assignment focusing on continuous functions and limits. The assignment includes various problems requiring students to prove the continuity of functions, find limits, and understand the relationship between integrability and continuity. Students are expected to write their own solutions and submit neatly. The due date is listed as november 12, 2002.

MAT 472 HOMEWORK 9 Due: Tuesday, 11/12/02
Homework is due in my mailboxby 3:00. Write neatly, not too small, and not too lightly.
You may discuss the problems with other students from class, but you must write your
own solutions.
Reread
your proofs
before
copying them out to turn in; I really do mean
that you should write (at least) one draft of each solution. If you submit some nonsense
in the course of a proof, the whole thing might strike me as not worth reading.
