Continuity Calculus pg. 57

A function f is continuous at a point x=c if the following is true: (1) f(c) is defined, (2) the limit as x goes to c of f(x) exists, and (3) the limit as x goes to c of f(x) equals f(c).

Newton's First Law of Motion University Physics pg. 96

A body acted on by no net force moves with constant velocity and zero acceleration

Newton's Second Law of Motion University Physics pg. 101

F=ma, The direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of net force
