Reason: First publication. Identifies continuity at a point of an interval with the limit there equalling the value, connecting the new function-limit definition to the metric notion of continuity. · 371 chars · 2 deps · depth 12

A real function on an interval is continuous at a point of that interval exactly when its limit at the point exists and equals its value there.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Line: Standing Notation and Background for Calculus, let I⊆RI\subseteq\mathbb{R} be an interval containing at least two points, let f:I→Rf:I\to\mathbb{R}, and let c∈Ic\in I.

Then ff is continuous at cc if and only if

lim⁡x→cf(x)=f(c)\lim_{x\to c}f(x)=f(c)

in the sense of Limit of a Real Function at a Point of an Interval.
