One of the most striking results in the theory of uniform convergence asserts that for a monotonic sequence of continuous functions, continuity of the limit function is a necessary and sufficient condition for uniform convergence. Much has been written about this theorem, but the fact that the proofs given in such works as Bromwich’s Infinite Series and De La Vallée Poussin’s Cours d’Analyse are incomplete, seems to justify the hope that this account may be of some assistance to students and teachers of convergence.
