This is the Epsilon Delta Definition of Continuity | Real Analysis

The epsilon delta definition of continuity is the end of our quest for a rigorous definition of continuity. All quirks of continuity we have seen are consistent with this definition which mostly comes from the definition of a functional limit. A function f is continuous at a point c if for all epsilon greater than 0, there exists delta greater than 0 so |x-c| less than delta implies |f(x)-f(c)| less than epsilon. In this real analysis lecture we introduce this definition, equivalent definitions, properties of continuity, and a basic epsilon delta proof. #realanalysis
