Theorem 2.5: [Continuous maps preserve compactness] If f : X → Y is continuous between metric
spaces and K ⊆ X is compact, then the image f '' K is compact.
Helper for Proposition 2.15: a continuous real-valued function on a compact metric space is bounded in absolute value.
Helper for Proposition 2.15: existence of points attaining the maximum and minimum on a compact metric space.
Proposition 2.15: [Maximum principle] Let (X, d) be a compact metric space and f : X → ℝ
continuous. (i) The function f is bounded on X. (ii) If X ≠ ∅, then there exist
x_max, x_min : X such that f x_max is a maximum and f x_min is a minimum of f on X.
Definition 2.6: [Uniform continuity] Let (X, d_X) and (Y, d_Y) be metric spaces and
f : X → Y. The function f is uniformly continuous on X if for every ε > 0 there exists
δ > 0 such that for all x, x' ∈ X, d_X x x' < δ → d_Y (f x) (f x') < ε.

Theorem 2.7: Let (X, d_X) and (Y, d_Y) be metric spaces and assume X is compact. For a
function f : X → Y, f is continuous on X if and only if f is uniformly continuous on X.

spaces, then g ∘ f : X → Z is uniformly continuous.
Proposition 2.17: Let (X, d_X) be a metric space, and let f, g : X → ℝ be uniformly
continuous. Equip ℝ² with the standard metric
d((a, b), (c, d)) = √((a - c)^2 + (b - d)^2). Define (f, g) : X → ℝ² by
(f, g)(x) = (f x, g x). Then (f, g) is uniformly continuous.

Proposition 2.18: On ℝ² with the Euclidean metric and ℝ with the usual metric, the maps
a(x,y)=x+y and s(x,y)=x-y are uniformly continuous, whereas m(x,y)=x*y is not uniformly
continuous.

continuous. Then the functions f + g and f - g are uniformly continuous on X.
