Why Is The Squaring Function Not Uniformly Continuous?
Let f(x) = x2 defined on . Let be an infinite hyperreal. The hyperreal number is infinitely close to N. Meanwhile, the difference
is not infinitesimal. Therefore f* fails to be microcontinuous at N. Thus, the squaring function is not uniformly continuous, according to the definition in uniform continuity above.
A similar proof may be given in the standard setting (Fitzpatrick 2006, Example 3.15).

Famous quotes containing the word function:
“Our father has an even more important function than modeling manhood for us. He is also the authority to let us relax the requirements of the masculine model: if our father accepts us, then that declares us masculine enough to join the company of men. We, in effect, have our diploma in masculinity and can go on to develop other skills.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
