Is it possible to prove Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem (one-dimensional version) for intervals other than [-1,1]-->[-1,1], say [1,2]-->[0,3]? If so, how?

SUMMARY
Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem asserts that any continuous function mapping a convex compact set to itself has at least one fixed point. The discussion highlights the necessity of the domain and codomain being identical spaces, as demonstrated by the function f(x) = x - 1, which maps the interval [1, 2] to [0, 3] and lacks a fixed point. This emphasizes that the theorem does not hold for mappings between different intervals. The conclusion is that proving the theorem for arbitrary intervals requires maintaining the condition of identical domain and codomain.
