| May 8, 2010 at 17:22 | comment | added | atonaltensor | I understand that continuity is not important because of its inverse-image-ness, but because it corresponds to the geometric notion. But WHY does the inverse-image-ness correspond to this geometric notion? It seems that there are seemingly-unrelated different geometric notions that ALSO corresponds to inverse-image-ness (such as measurable functions). I suppose the question is, why the prevalence of inverse-image-ness? | |
