Euclidean Space is Open in Itself, and Maps are Continuous
lemmaMultivariable Calculuslem:euclidean-space-open-ck-continuous-2026aLet and be natural numbers and let be the real numbers. Regard Euclidean space as a metric space through the Euclidean distance , which is a metric by Euclidean Distance is a Metric on , and regard as a metric space through the metric of The Absolute Value Metric on the Real Line.
Then the following hold.
1. (The whole space is open) is an open subset of .
2. (Class implies class ) Let be open, let , and let be a natural number. If is of class on , then is of class on .
3. (Continuity) Let , and be as in claim 2, with of class on . Then for every with the coordinate function is continuous in the Euclidean sense at every point of , and is also continuous relative to at every point of , as a map from into . The same conclusions hold if is instead assumed smooth on .
