This normally refers to continuity as a property of certain functions (mappings). They are called continuous if the output depends in a certain way on the input in that a small alteration in the input only leads to a small alteration in the output. Continuous functions can intuitively be drawn with a pencil without ever stopping and beginning again.

More formally, a map between two topological spaces is continuous if the preimage of every open set in the codomain is an open set in the domain.
