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:
“The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
