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:
“For me being a poet is a job rather than an activity. I feel I have a function in society, neither more nor less meaningful than any other simple job. I feel it is part of my work to make poetry more accessible to people who have had their rights withdrawn from them.”
—Jeni Couzyn (b. 1942)
