Real functions Theorem

Continuous functions are Riemann integrable

Builds on Continuous functions on a closed bounded interval are uniformly continuousRiemann's criterion for integrability

Statement

Let a<ba < b and let f ⁣:[a,b]→ℝf \colon [a, b] \to \mathbb{R} be continuous. Then ff is Riemann integrable on [a,b][a, b].

Remarks

By the Heine–Cantor theorem, ff is uniformly continuous. Choose δ\delta for ε/(b−a)\varepsilon/(b - a). For a partition of mesh less than δ\delta, U(f,P)−L(f,P)<εU(f, P) - L(f, P) < \varepsilon. Then Riemann's criterion applies. More generally, a bounded function with finitely many discontinuities is Riemann integrable.

Each page uses the pages above it. The colour of the bar on a box shows how strong the evidence is, and the box also gives it as text. The list has the same pages.
