Abstract: |
In this chapter, the concepts of real and vector functions of several variables are initially introduced, as well as the concepts of limit and continuity of these functions. The chapter begins with an analysis of the concept of a function, accompanied by numerous examples from applications in the physical sciences. Next, the chapter addresses the concept of the limit and continuity of real functions. It uses concepts from the first chapter, such as sequence convergence, and provides the so-called "ε-δ definition." The analogies, but more importantly, the differences between the limit and continuity of real functions of one variable and those of several variables, which arise due to the higher dimensions of the space in which the functions' domain resides, are emphasized. Building on the relevant concepts for real functions of several variables, we then establish the corresponding concepts for vector functions, highlighting how the latter are derived from the former through their components.
