Theorem
Let $z_0 \in \C$ be a complex number.
Then the complex modulus function is continuous at $z_0$.
Proof
Let $\epsilon>0$.
Let $z \in \C$ be a complex number satisfying $\left\vert{z - z_0}\right\vert < \epsilon$.
By the Reverse Triangle Inequality:
- $\left\vert{ \left\vert{z}\right\vert - \left\vert{z_0}\right\vert }\right\vert \le \left\vert{z - z_0}\right\vert < \epsilon$
Hence the result, by the $\epsilon$-$\delta$ definition of continuity (taking $\delta = \epsilon$).
