数学专业英语[3]-Continuous Functions of One Real Variable

数学专业英语-Continuous Functions of One Real Variable5 N2 F- U/ v' M" s / n9 p/ _! V4 L0 c5 e7 }! z# F

This lesson deals with the concept of continuity, one of the most important and also one of the most fascinating ideas in all of mathematics. Before we give a preeise technical definition of continuity, we shall briefly discuss the concept in an informal and intuitive way to give the reader a feeling for its meaning.

9 X* O8 a7 K: g7 U) t# q) s

Roughly speaking the situation is this: Suppose a function f has the value f ( p ) at a certain point p. Then f is said to be continuous at p if at every nearby point x the function value f ( x ) is close to f ( p ). Another way of putting it is as follows: If we let x move toward p, we want the corresponding function value f ( x ) to become arbitrarily close to f ( p ), regardless of the manner in which x approaches p. We do not want sudden jumps in the values of a continuous function.

: n" Q9 U5 @4 q" J5 B6 X( r( n) A% e

Consider the graph of the function f defined by the equation f ( x ) = x –[ x ], where [ x ] denotes the greatest integer < x . At each integer we have what is known ad a jump discontinuity. For example, f ( 2 ) = 0 ,but as x approaches 2 from the left, f ( x ) approaches the value 1, which is not equal to f ( 2 ).Therefore we have a discontinuity at 2. Note that f ( x ) does approach f ( 2 ) if we let x approach 2 from the right, but this by itself is not enough to establish continuity at 2. In case like this, the function is called continuous from the right at 2 and discontinuous from the left at 2. Continuity at a point requires both continuity from the left and from the right.

! q) T8 f8 e/ ?

In the early development of calculus almost all functions that were dealt with were continuous and there was no real need at that time for a penetrating look into the exact meaning of continuity. It was not until late in the 18th century that discontinuous functions began appearing in connection with various kinds of physical problems. In particular, the work of J.B.J. Fourier(1758-1830) on the theory of heat forced mathematicians the early 19th century to examine more carefully the exact meaning of the word “continuity”.

" T9 g8 o, H; ~. F4 u5 n# b

A satisfactory mathematical definition of continuity, expressed entirely in terms of properties of the real number system, was first formulated in 1821 by the French mathematician, Augustin-Louis Cauchy (1789-1857). His definition, which is still used today, is most easily explained in terms of the limit concept to which we turn now.

; T. w( z8 k( h$ A" z( Q! I- h

The definition of the limit of a function.

$ U1 V( t; e2 b: G9 Y: C

Let f be a function defined in some open interval containing a point p, although we do not insist that f be defined at the point p itself. Let A be a real number.

) X4 E3 n6 [1 b7 N" Z" b

The equation

; ~/ F V4 P6 b v6 M* T

f ( x ) = A 3 y# H& Z# y7 k0 `: ^ n2 e! s6 a* j' {6 P- L7 b: T" m. K , a- b# e' G" ?4 P6 F

- p. n- e4 V' \! y4 T4 t1 q9 C7 k

is read “The limit of f ( x ) , as x approached p, is equal to A”, or “f ( x ) approached A as x approached p.” It is also written without the limit symbol, as follows:

% y+ Z/ h& ~8 N8 {+ c

f ( x ) A as x p . a" W) x j1 a1 I

' W! ]) F4 C. l; Z7 x. v' p

# @ ^+ | W8 t3 [

This symbolism is intended to convey the idea that we can make f ( x ) as close to A as we please, provided we choose x sufficiently close to p.

, g H3 r0 ]* n1 \: I( @

Our first task is to explain the meaning of these symbols entirely in terms of real numbers. We shall do this in two stages. First we introduce the concept of a neighborhood of a point, the we define limits in terms of neighborhoods.

9 j. d) M3 G0 R1 q* n

Definition of neighborhood of a point.

# @# v* c5 G3 i5 M( G

Any open interval containing a point p as its midpoint is called a neighborhood of p.

5 s" U1 P2 E" k1 s, b

NOTATION. We denote neighborhoods by N ( p ), N1 ( p ), N2 ( p ) etc. Since a neighborhood N ( p ) is an open interval symmetric about p, it consists of all real x satisfying p-r < x < p+r for some r > 0. The positive number r is called the radius of the neighborhood. We designate N ( p ) by N ( p; r ) if we wish to specify its radius. The inequalities p-r < x < p+r are equivalent to –r<x-p<r, and to x-p< r. Thus N ( p; r ) consists of all points x whose distance from p is less than r.

, e4 U- ~6 v0 Y8 b3 b

In the next definition, we assume that A is a real number and that f is a function defined on some neighborhood of a point p (except possibly at p ) . The function may also be defined at p but this is irrelevant in the definition.

8 u, [ b- l. ~$ h+ |3 l

Definition of limit of a function.

+ ^* Y0 }' \& b, b( p

The symbolism

- b! r8 I. ]& ], E, m3 b

f ( x ) = A or [ f ( x ) A as x p ] , H- U3 |3 Z3 u% j: F7 ^8 |

2 @/ {6 m/ h* }% I2 E8 m, Q

; I4 E9 C8 \# t) w0 K& u

means that for every neighborhood N1 ( A ) there is some neighborhood N2 ( p) such that

5 {9 x# V+ K4 R" a7 c+ B6 l

f ( x ) N1 ( A ) whenever x N2 ( p ) and x p (*) % \ J' J9 }- x# H

; d- @) C$ W' Q3 _- r/ ~" B' e

8 i% T$ X( i; I0 }4 d8 N

The first thing to note about this definition is that it involves two neighborhoods, N1 ( A) and

9 t8 V* J9 [' v- e. y* d% Y1 k- l/ [

N2 ( p) . The neighborhood N1 ( A) is specified first; it tells us how close we wish f ( x ) to be to the limit A. The second neighborhood, N2 ( p ), tells us how close x should be to p so that f ( x ) will be within the first neighborhood N1 ( A). The essential part of the definition is that, for every N1 ( A), no matter how small, there is some neighborhood N2 (p) to satisfy (*). In general, the neighborhood N2 ( p) will depend on the choice of N1 ( A). A neighborhood N2 ( p ) that works for one particular N1 ( A) will also work, of course, for every larger N1 ( A), but it may not be suitable for any smaller N1 ( A).

4 `. A* R* |8 z7 S$ e8 L( C

The definition of limit can also be formulated in terms of the radii of the neighborhoods

. k' n5 z% S7 a

N1 ( A) and N2 ( p ). It is customary to denote the radius of N1 ( A) byεand the radius of N2 ( p) by δ.The statement f ( x ) N1 ( A ) is equivalent to the inequality f ( x ) – A<ε,and the statement x N1 ( A) ,x p ,is equivalent to the inequalities 0 < x-p<δ. Therefore, the definition of limit can also be expressed as follows:

( k' }9 `( [: [8 v/ L

The symbol f ( x ) = A means that for everyε> 0, there is aδ> 0 such that

1 ~7 n7 j9 _) E

f ( x ) – A<ε whenever 0 <x – p<δ

$ d* Z4 \. N& X* }+ @; X. U

“One-sided” limits may be defined in a similar way. For example, if f ( x ) A as x p through values greater than p, we say that A is right-hand limit of f at p, and we indicate this by writing

% L5 m" \6 A, M2 R1 ~

f ( x ) = A ( p" }2 d$ Z6 ^' r- d

3 M4 @3 D! D; |* \+ e8 c+ q% R

9 b' m* D5 z n

In neighborhood terminology this means that for every neighborhood N1 ( A) ,there is some neighborhood N2( p) such that

Left-hand limits, denoted by writing x p-, are similarly defined by restricting x to values less than p.

: M( g. ^, B n

If f has a limit A at p, then it also has a right-hand limit and a left-hand limit at p, both of these being equal to A. But a function can have a right-hand limit at p different from the left-hand limit.

In the definition of limit we made no assertion about the behaviour of f at the point p itself. Moreover, even if f is defined at p, its value there need not be equal to the limit A. However, if it happens that f is defined at p and if it also happens that f ( p ) = A, then we say the function f is continuous at p. In other words, we have the following definition.

Definition of continuity of a function at a point.

A function f is said to be continuous at a point p if

( a ) f is defined at p, and ( b ) f ( x ) = f ( p ) ; D! u0 a9 M0 X" x$ `. o

This definition can also be formulated in term of neighborhoods. A function f is continuous at p if for every neighborhood N1 ( f(p)) there is a neighborhood N2 (p) such that

f ( x ) N1 ( f (p)) whenever x N2 ( p).

In theε-δterminology , where we specify the radii of the neighborhoods, the definition of continuity can be restated ad follows:

Function f is continuous at p if for every ε> 0 ,there is aδ> 0 such that

f ( x ) – f ( p )< ε whenever x – p< δ

In the rest of this lesson we shall list certain special properties of continuous functions that are used quite frequently. Most of these properties appear obvious when interpreted geometrically ; consequently many people are inclined to accept them ad self-evident. However, it is important to realize that these statements are no more self-evident than the definition of continuity itself, and therefore they require proof if they are to be used with any degree of generality. The proofs of most of these properties make use of the least-upper bound axiom for the real number system.

THEOREM 1. (Bolzano’s theorem) Let f be continuous at each point of a closed interval [a, b] and assume that f ( a ) an f ( b ) have opposite signs. Then there is at least one c in the open interval (a ,b) such that f ( c ) = 0.

THEOREM 2. Sign-preserving property of continuous functions. Let f be continuious at c and suppose that f ( c ) 0. Then there is an interval (c-δ,c +δ) about c in which f has the same sign as f ( c ).

THEOREM 3. Let f be continuous at each point of a closed interval [a, b]. Choose two arbitrary points x1 < x2 in [a, b] such that f ( x1 ) f ( x2 ) . Then f takes every value between f ( x1 ) and f (x2 ) somewhere in the interval ( x1, x2 ).

THEOREM 4. Boundedness theorem for continuous functions. Let f be continuous on a closed interval [a, b]. Then f is bounded on [a, b]. That is , there is a number M > 0, such thatf ( x )∣≤ M for all x in [a, b].

THEOREM 5. (extreme value theorem) Assume f is continuous on a closed interval [a, b]. Then there exist points c and d in [a, b] such that f ( c ) = sup f and f ( d ) = inf f .

Note. This theorem shows that if f is continuous on [a, b], then sup f is its absolute maximum, and inf f is its absolute minimum

数学专业英语[4]-Differential Calculus

Historical Introduction

0 I; m1 D. q; w" {% J, P% g

Newton and Leibniz,quite independently of one another,were largely responsible for developing the ideas of integral calculus to the point where hitherto insurmountable problems could be solved by more or less routine methods.The successful accomplishments of these men were primarily due to the fact that they were able to fuse together the integral calculus with the second main branch of calculus,differential calculus.

6 I4 C. Q; X5 u. d! w! l

The central idea of differential calculus is the notion of derivative.Like the integral,the derivative originated from a problem in geometry—the problem of finding the tangent line at a point of a curve.Unlile the integral,however,the derivative evolved very late in the history of mathematics.The concept was not formulated until early in the 17th century when the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat,attempted to determine the maxima and minima of certain special functions.

, v1 U2 Z# y' W* a. n1 v0 D- y

Fermat’s idea,basically very simple,can be understood if we refer to a curve and assume that at each of its points this curve has a definite direction that can be described by a tangent line.Fermat noticed that at certain points where the curve has a maximum or minimum,the tangent line must be horizontal.Thus the problem of locating such extreme values is seen to depend on the solution of another problem,that of locating the horizontal tangents.

5 G8 H: W; h: b) g) k, b8 U* @

This raises the more general question of determining the direction of the tangent line at an arbitrary point of the curve.It was the attempt to solve this general problem that led Fermat to discover some of the rudimentary ideas underlying the notion of derivative.

2 f) U! R c, Z' s

At first sight there seems to be no connection whatever between the problem of finding the area of a region lying under a curve and the problem of finding the tangent line at a point of a curve.The first person to realize that these two seemingly remote ideas are,in fact, rather intimately related appears to have been Newton’s teacher,Isaac Barrow(1630-1677).However,Newton and Leibniz were the first to understand the real importance of this relation and they exploited it to the fullest,thus inaugurating an unprecedented era in the development of mathematics.

. a/ W" `- b o7 X: J) h1 G

Although the derivative was originally formulated to study the problem of tangents,it was soon found that it also provides a way to calculate velocity and,more generally,the rate of change of a function.In the next section we shall consider a special problem involving the calculation of a velocity.The solution of this problem contains all the essential fcatures of the derivative concept and may help to motivate the general definition of derivative which is given below.

" E- O6 v* b3 y0 Y4 a

A Problem Involving Velocity

5 c" {( @9 S( P% |6 Q8 \

Suppose a projectile is fired straight up from the ground with initial velocity of 144 feet persecond.Neglect friction,and assume the projectile is influenced only by gravity so that it moves up and back along a straight line.Let f(t) denote the height in feet that the projectile attains t seconds after firing.If the force of gravity were not acting on it,the projectile would continue to move upward with a constant velocity,traveling a distance of 144 feet every second,and at time t we woule have f(t)=144 t.In actual practice,gravity causes the projectile to slow down until its velocity decreases to zero and then it drops back to earth.Physical experiments suggest that as the projectile is aloft,its height f(t) is given by the formula

% j; @: o" a. k& @& K

(1) f(t)=144t –16 t2

! s p6 ~- s- ?% Y, b% C; j+ g

The term –16t2 is due to the influence of gravity.Note that f(t)=0 when t=0 and when t=9.This means that the projectile returns to earth after 9 seconds and it is to be understood that formula (1) is valid only for 0<t<9.

2 k/ E; A6 |" K5 \( K

The problem we wish to consider is this:To determine the velocity of the projectile at each instant of its motion.Before we can understand this problem,we must decide on what is meant by the velocity at each instant.To do this,we introduce first the notion of average velocity during a time interval,say from time t to time t+h.This is defined to be the quotient.

, B" B# z- ]/ o9 V) d7 v

Change in distance during time interval =f(t+h)-f(t)/h

. q) E6 D) `0 ?* D7 B+ S! s 5 o( G1 e9 ~7 t4 H6 D) v: C% }% u5 A6 W! P6 e# p+ m5 ?! g N+ p, j+ y2 T
- z1 a. z3 D3 [3 i& s: c, j2 D0 l$ A$ X

Length of time interval

/ G3 C( B& n i+ G

This quotient,called a difference quotient,is a number which may be calculated whenever both t and t+h are in the interval[0,9].The number h may be positive or negative,but not zero.We shall keep t fixed and see what happens to the difference quotient as we take values of h with smaller and smaller absolute value.

3 M5 ?- W7 R5 L9 F% u( G! `" q

The limit process by which v(t) is obtained from the difference quotient is written symbolically as follows:

8 ] H! M) Z8 e1 b) B

V(t)=lim(h0) [f(t+h)-f(t)]/h

2 C) a4 ~# J6 k$ I: ?

The equation is used to define velocity not only for this particular example but,more generally,for any particle moving along a straight line,provided the position function f is such that the differerce quotient tends to a definite limit as h approaches zero.

' \' D8 V* d4 L# u( }' O0 f

The example describe in the foregoing section points the way to the introduction of the concept of derivative.We begin with a function f defined at least on some open interval(a,b) on the x axis.Then we choose a fixed point in this interval and introduce the difference quotient

5 b! P6 o- r2 t

[f(x+h)-f(x)]/h

% G2 j; P& Q2 a, L( w% w

where the number h,which may be positive or negative(but not zero),is such that x+h also lies in(a,b).The numerator of this quotient measures the change in the function when x changes from x to x+h.The quotient itself is referred to as the average rate of change of f in the interval joining x to x+h.

2 R) y! f% c( }% Q

Now we let h approach zero and see what happens to this quotient.If the quotient.If the quotient approaches some definite values as a limit(which implies that the limit is the same whether h approaches zero through positive values or through negative values),then this limit is called the derivative of f at x and is denoted by the symbol f’(x) (read as “f prime of x”).Thus the formal definition of f’(x) may be stated as follows:

$ i9 W6 U- j) t- Y5 I" s! a

Definition of derivative.The derivative f’(x)is defined by the equation

) e- @) V* z, H m$ {, |3 [/ {

f’(x)=lim(ho)[f(x+h)-f(x)]/h

9 l0 J& f9 S+ |8 S

provided the limit exists.The number f’(x) is also called the rate of change of f at x.

In general,the limit process which produces f’(x) from f(x) gives a way of obtaining a new function f’ from a given function f.This process is called differentiation,and f’ is called the first derivative of f.If f’,in turn,is defined on an interval,we can try to compute its first derivative,denoted by f’’,and is called the second derivative of f.Similarly,the nth derivative of f denoted by f^(n),is defined to be the first derivative of f^(n-1).We make the convention that f^(0)=f,that is,the zeroth derivative is the function itself.

Notes - Z9 m+ N- r3 W$ O5 j

1. Newton and Leibniz,quite independently of one another,were largely responsible for developing…by more or less routine methods.

意思是:在很大程度上是牛顿和莱伯尼,他们相互独立地把积分学的思想发展到这样一种程度,使得迄今一些难于超越的问题可以或多或少地用通常的方法加以解决。

这里responsible for的基本意义是:“对负责”,但也可作“应归功于”解,这里应理解为“归功于”。

2The example described in the foregoing section points the way to the introduction of the concept of derivative.

意思是:前面一节所描述的例子指出了引进导数概念的方法。

这里described是过去分词,foregoing是现在分词,两者都用作定语,切不可误认described为过去式谓语。类似句子如:

We begin with a function f defined on some interval(a,b);

3. The quotient itself is referred to as the average of change of f in the interval joining x to x+h.

意思是:商本身是指区间xx+hf的平均变化率。这里be referred to as意思是:“把

认为是“

4We make the convention that f0=f

意思是:我们约定(按惯例)f0=f

Exercise : g! U' X8 H" t8 s$ F0 |- N

I.1.Fill in the missing words in column B such that the word in column B corresponds to the word in column A in the same sense as “integration”corresponds to “differentiation”

A B

Differentiation integration

Differential

Differentiate

Differentiable

1. Then choose the correct word from either column A or column B and insert it in each of the blanks.

(i)The process of finding the derivative of a function is called( )

(ii) If f(x) has a derivative at the point x0 then f(x) is said to be ( )at x0.

(iii) f(x)dx is called the indefinite( ) of f(x).

II Translate the following two examples into Chinese(pay attention to the phrases used):

Example 1 Find the derivative of

f(x)=(3x+1)4/(x2+2)3

solution:Taking the logarithms of both sides,we have

ln f(x)=4ln(3x+1)-3ln(x2+2)

Differentiating both sides of the above equation,we obtain

f’(x)/f(x)=12/(3x+1)-6/(x2+2)

(1) and (2)together yield

f’(x)=[(3x+1)4/(x2+2)3][12/(3x+1)-6/(x2+2)]

Example 2 Integrate x2 cosxdx

Solutionet u=x2,v=sin x;

Then du=2xdx,dv=cos x dx

So we have I=x2 cos x dx =u dv

By applying integration by parts,we have

I=udv=uv-vdu=x2 sinx-2x sinx dx (1)

Applying integration by parts once again to the indefinite integralxsinxdx,we get

x sinx dx = -x cos x +sin x +c (2)

Substituting (2)into (1)yields

x2 cos x dx=x2 sin x+2x cos x-2 sin x +c

where c is an arbitrary constant.

III. Translate the following example into English:

y=ln(2x2-4)的导数

【解】令y=ln u,u=(2x2-4),dy/du=1/u. du/dx=4x (1)

据复合函数求导数的公式,我们有

dy/du=dy/du-du/dx (2)

把(1)代入(2)式得dy/dx=(1/u)4x

u换为2x2-4,最后得dy/dx=4x/(2x2-4)

IV. Theorem Let f be defined on an open interval I,and assume that f has a relative maximum or a relative minimum at an interior point c of I.If the derivative f’(c )exists,then f’(c )=0

The proof of this theorem is given in Chinese as follows.Turn it into English:

证明:

(1) 在I上定义函数Qx

Q(x)=[f(x)-f(c )]/(x-c) xc

f’(c ) x=c

(2) 因为f’(c)存在,故当x趋向c时,Qx)趋向Qc),也即Qx)在点xc连续

(2) 我们将证明:若f’c)=Qc)≠0,则导致矛盾;

(3) 设Qc>0,根据连续函数的保号性质,存在c点的一个领域,在此领域里,Qx)是正的;

(4) 因此在此领域内,对所有xcQx)的分子和分母同号;

(5) 即是说,当x>c时,fx>f(c ),而当x<c时,fx<fc)这与fxc处有一极值相矛盾;

(6) 因此Qc>0不可能,同理可证Qc<0也不真。
