Heine-Cantor theorem (Theorem)

Let $X,Y$ be uniform spaces, and $f: X \rightarrow Y$ a continuous function. If $X$ is compact, then $f$ is uniformly continuous.

For instance, if $f: [a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function, then it is uniformly continuous.

uniform space by AxelBoldt on 2002-06-07 12:37:54
I believe R can be replaced by an arbitrary uniform space in this theorem.
