The purpose of this paper is to show that the various differentiability conditions for the norm of a normed linear space can be characterised by continuity conditions for a certain mapping from the space into its dual. Differentiability properties of the norm are often more easily handled using this characterisation and to demonstrate this we give somewhat more direct proofs of the reflexivity of a Banach space whose dual norm is strongly differentiable, and the duality of uniform rotundity and uniform strong differentiability of the norm for a Banach space.
