[Community Question] Calculus: Definite integral with interval depends on $n$!

One of our user asked:

The following that
$$\int_0^1 f(x) \,\mathrm dx=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}f(\frac{k}{n})\frac{1}{n} \, $$
is well-known fact! But if $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{r_n}{n}=\alpha,$$
then is it true that $$\int_0^{\alpha} f(x) \,\mathrm dx=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sum_{k=1}^{r_n-1}f(\frac{k}{n})\frac{1}{n} \, $$?
If this is true, why? Help me with big mercy!!

[Community Question] Calculus: Manifold with boundary - finding the boundary

One of our user asked: I have the manifold with boundary $M:= \lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^3 : x_1\geq 0, x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2=1\rbrace \cup\lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^3 : x_1= 0, x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2\leq1\rbrace$ and I need to find the boundary of this manifold. I think it is $\lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^n : x_1= 0, x_2^2+x_3^2=1\rbrace$ , the other option is that the boundary is the empty set? I think the first is right? Am I wrong?

[Community Question] Linear-algebra: Are linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces always differentiable?

One of our user asked: In class we saw that every linear transformation is differentiable (since there's always a linear approximation for them) and we also saw that a differentiable function must be continuous, so it must be true that all linear operators are continuous, however, I just read that between infinite dimensional vector spaces this is not necessarily true. I would like to know where's the flaw in my reasoning (I suspect that linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces are not always differentiable).
