Riemann Integration and Fundamental Results

Riemann integrability is characterised by upper and lower sums converging together; continuous functions on closed bounded intervals are integrable. Refining a partition lowers upper sums and raises lower sums. The distinction between a formal hypothesis and an intuitive picture is made explicit so that calculations can be justified, not merely patterned.

Worked reasoning

Continuity on a compact interval implies uniform continuity.
This controls oscillation and makes upper-lower sum gaps arbitrarily small.

Which bounded function on $[a,b]$ is guaranteed Riemann integrable?

Every continuous function

Every arbitrary function

Only polynomials of degree 1

No discontinuous function ever
