|---|---|
Can a function in one real variable be discontinuous at every rational number but continuous at every irrational number? Such a function not only exists, but we can write down an explicit formula, graph it with a computer, and visualize the result. The main emphasis will be on cool pictures of this and similar functions of one variable. I will discuss examples of functions with oddly behaved derivatives. I will also discuss extension problems and limits.
