Explain carefully what it means to say that a bounded function f:[0,1]Rf:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is Riemann integrable.

Prove that every continuous function f:[0,1]Rf:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is Riemann integrable.

For each of the following functions from [0,1][0,1] to R\mathbb{R}, determine with proof whether or not it is Riemann integrable:

(i) the function f(x)=xsin1xf(x)=x \sin \frac{1}{x} for x0x \neq 0, with f(0)=0f(0)=0;

(ii) the function g(x)=sin1xg(x)=\sin \frac{1}{x} for x0x \neq 0, with g(0)=0g(0)=0.
