Continuous Function on Closed Real Interval is Uniformly Continuous

Theorem
Let $\left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right]$ be a closed real interval.

Let $f: \left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right] \to \R$ be a continuous function.

Then $f$ is uniformly continuous on $\left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right]$.

Proof
We have that $\R$ is a metric space under the usual (Euclidean) metric.

We also have from the Heine-Borel Theorem that $\left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right]$ is compact.

So the result Heine-Cantor Theorem applies.
