Definition in terms of the metric

Suppose (X,dX) and (Y,dY) are metric spaces (in other words, X and Y are sets and dX and dY are metrics on X and Y respectively). A function f:XY is termed a uniformly continuous map if the following holds:

ε>0δ>0:dX(a,b)<δdY(f(a),f(b))<ε.

Definition in terms of the uniform structure

Suppose (X,dX) and (Y,dY) are metric spaces. A map f:XY is termed uniformly continuous if f is a uniformly continuous map from X to Y with respect to the induced uniform structures on X and Y from their respective metrics.
