SUMMARY

The series \(\Sigma_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\sin(nx)}{n^2}\) is continuous on \(\mathbb{R}\) due to its uniform convergence. The discussion emphasizes that demonstrating uniform convergence is straightforward, which directly leads to the conclusion of continuity. The participant indicates that the use of uniform convergence is permitted, simplifying the proof process significantly.

Well, that would depend on what you're allowed to use. But uniform convergence of the series pretty much implies it immediately. And showing uniform convergence is easy.

Otherwise, I imagine it's a bit trickier, and I'd have to think about it.
 
I am allowed to use uniform convergence. Thanks!
