Space of continuous functions on a compact space

In mathematical analysis, and especially functional analysis, a fundamental role is played by the space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space X {\displaystyle X} with values in the real or complex numbers. This space, denoted by C ( X ) , {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}(X),} is a vector space with respect to the pointwise addition of functions and scalar multiplication by constants.
