This document discusses continuity of functions and discontinuities. It defines a continuous function as one where the limit matches the value of the function at a point. There are two types of discontinuities: essential discontinuities which cannot be removed and removable discontinuities which can be removed by defining the function at the point of discontinuity. The intermediate value theorem states that if a function is continuous on an interval, it must take on all values between the function values at the endpoints.
