Let $f: [0,1]tomathbbR$ be continuous and differentiable on $(0,1)$. Is it true that if $m in (0,1)$ is a local maximum then $f'$ is continuous in some neighborhood of $m$? Intuitively this should looks true, but my attempts at a proof have not gotten me very far. If it false, can you provide a counterexample?

Well if you have a local maximum, then that is achieved when $f'(x) = 0$. How would you conclude it is continuous in that? You could say it is $~0$ near there.

My thought is that by having a local maximum you’re not allowing oscillations, and the one function I know who does have a continuous derivative is that way because of oscillations

It is not true. Take $f(x)=left(x-frac12right)^2left(sinleft(frac1x-frac12right)-2right)$ if $xneqfrac12$ (and $fleft(frac12right)=0$). Then $f$ has a local maximum at $frac12$, but $f'$ is discontinuous there.
