Undid revision 898281551 by Tjt263 (talk) \forall symbols were not missing, using symbols instead of words makes reading more difficult here.
Definition and first consequences: 'and' is confusing, it can make someone believe 'n' is a real whereas it's an integer.
Line 11:
:<math>f(x) = \sum\limits_{i=0}^n \alpha_i \chi_{A_i}(x)</math>, for all real numbers <math>x</math>
 
where <math>n\ge 0</math> and, <math>\alpha_i</math> are real numbers, <math>A_i</math> are intervals, and <math>\chi_A</math> is the [[indicator function]] of <math>A\text{:}</math>:
:<math>\chi_A(x) = \begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } x \in A, \\
0 & \text{if } x \notin A. \\
\end{cases}</math>
