Continuity and Differentiability Explained Visually

This animation walks through the core ideas of the Class 12 chapter on continuity and differentiability: what it means for a function to be continuous at a point using limits, common types of discontinuities, and how differentiability builds on continuity. It visually contrasts smooth curves with sharp corners or breaks, showing why a function can be continuous but not differentiable. Useful for students revising the chapter and teachers introducing the topic before diving into derivative rules and theorems.
