Proving Continuous Functions in Smooth Infinitesimal Analysis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In smooth infinitesimal analysis, every function defined on the real numbers (R) is continuous and infinitely differentiable. The discussion emphasizes that the term "smooth" directly correlates with infinite differentiability, which inherently implies continuity. Therefore, proving the continuity of functions in this context is straightforward due to the established relationship between differentiability and continuity.

Hello.

How to prove that in smooth infinitesimal analysis every function on R is continuous? (Every function whose domain is R, the real numbers, is continuous and infinitely differentiable.)

Thanks.

Thanks.
Smooth is another word for infinitely differentiable, and differentiable implies continuity.
