Riemann's Example of a Continuous but Nowhere Differentiable Function

number of terms
exponent β
cosine fraction α
Contrary to intuition, functions exist that are continuous everywhere, but differentiable almost nowhere. This shows a plot of partial sums of Riemann's continuous but nowhere differentiable function which can be expressed as
