Normalize , so . Their derivatives are . Distinct cosine functions are orthogonal in , and these normalizing factors stay bounded away from zero. Consequently the derivative images have pairwise distances bounded away from zero. Since uniform convergence would imply convergence, no subsequence converges uniformly. Thus is not compact.
