Prove $f$ is integrable on $[a,b]$ if $f$ has finitely many accumulation points on $[a,b]$.
$begingroup$
Suppose interval $Iin[a,b]$ as finitely many limit points, $f:[a,b]to mathbb{R} $ is bounded on $[a,b]$ and continuous on $[a,b]setminus I$. Use the fact that if $f$ is continuous except at finitely many points in an interval, $f$ is integrable on that interval.
I can use Darboux and Reimann integration theorems and definitions.
I believe the correct way to start is to partition the accumulation points into intervals, but I'm not sure the correct way to set this up. I also know that given the hypothesis, there are infinitely many discontinuities on $[a,b]$, but I
m also not sure how to prove that. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

What about the Dirichlet function? On any interval it has finitely many limit points, yet is not Riemann integrable on any interval by Lebesgue.

Part of the hypothesis I have is that $f$ is continuous on $[a,b]setminus I$. It's a homework question, so I'm assuming it is true!

If $f$ integral on $[a,b]$, then it is integrable on every subinterval, hence if $f$ so for a counterexample we can assume WLOG $I=[a,b]$. Alternatively, if the subinterval must be proper, just take $f$ to be the Dirichlet function on $I$, and 0 everywhere else. Then $f$ still has finitelt many limit points, but uncountable discontinuities.
