Complete this sentence: “For all Epsilon > 0, there exists delta > 0, such that...”

If you cannot, you know exactly crap about calculas.

And the function does not continue.

First sentence could apply to any sort of convergence situation but I'd have to be smoking whatever you are to try to guess what that third sentence means... Try laying off it for a few days.

The answer is in #104.

It is the litanny of all advanced calculus students - you know, the ones studying “Real analysis.” Not my term - the name of the course.

It is the class where undergraduate math majors go back and PROVE everything they learned in calculus.

More simply put, it is the definition of continuity.

Like life - it is a continuum, and ever changinging. Some changes enhance your chances; some don’t.

That iss all part of the genetic algorithm.

Oh - the third sentence was the clue. “Continue”...”Continuity...”

“And the function does not continue...”

See? It is the definition of continuity.

Math joke.

Like this one;

a=b=1
ab=aa
ab - bb = aa - bb
b(a-b) = (a+b)(a-b)
b=a+b
1=2
