Uniformly Convergent Series of Continuous Functions is Continuous

Theorem
Let $\sequence {f_n}$ be a sequence of real functions.

Let each of $\sequence {f_n}$ be continuous on the interval $\hointr a b$.

Let the series:
 * $\ds \map f x := \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \map {f_n} x$

be uniformly convergent for all $x \in \closedint a b$.

Then $f$ is continuous on $\hointr a b$.
