Definition: Continuous Functions in Metric Spaces

Let \((X,d)\) and \((Y,d)\) be two metric spaces and \(f:X\to Y\) be a function \(f\) is continuous at a point \(a\in X\), if

\[\lim_{x\to a} f(x)=f(a),\] i.e. if for each convergent sequence \((x_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) of points \(x_n\in X\) with \(\lim x_n=a\) we have \(\lim f(x_n)=f(a)\).

The function \(f\) is called continuous on \(X\), if \(f\) is continuous in every point \(a\in X\).
