MHB Continuous, discontinuous and piece-wise function

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around identifying equations related to continuous, discontinuous, and piece-wise functions. A user expresses confusion about where to start their activity and seeks assistance. Another participant highlights a potential misunderstanding regarding continuity, noting that a function can have infinitely many points of continuity. They suggest that the activity may require identifying specific points of continuity among break points. Clarification on the types of discontinuities is also requested, indicating a need for foundational understanding in the topic.

What are the three types of discontinuites?

-Dan
 
It is very strange that this says "should have two continuous point(s)". This function will necessarily have infinitely many points of continuity! I presume it means that two of the five break points are to be points of continuity.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
