Undergrad Proving Continuous Functions in Smooth Infinitesimal Analysis

Click For Summary
In smooth infinitesimal analysis, every function defined on the real numbers is continuous and infinitely differentiable. The concept of "smooth" indicates that these functions possess an infinite number of derivatives. Since differentiability inherently implies continuity, it follows that all functions in this framework are continuous. The discussion emphasizes the relationship between differentiability and continuity in the context of smooth infinitesimal analysis. Therefore, proving the continuity of functions on R is straightforward due to these foundational principles.

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.

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