Definition:Continuous Mapping (Metric Space)/Point/Definition 3

Definition
Let $M_1 = \left({A_1, d_1}\right)$ and $M_2 = \left({A_2, d_2}\right)$ be metric spaces.

Let $f: A_1 \to A_2$ be a mapping from $A_1$ to $A_2$.

Let $a \in A_1$ be a point in $A_1$.

$f$ is continuous at (the point) $a$ (with respect to the metrics $d_1$ and $d_2$) iff:
 * $\forall \epsilon \in \R_{>0}: \exists \delta \in \R_{>0}: f \left({B_\delta \left({a; d_1}\right)}\right) \subseteq B_\epsilon \left({f \left({a}\right); d_2}\right)$

where $B_\epsilon \left({f \left({a}\right); d_2}\right)$ denotes the open $\epsilon$-ball of $f \left({a}\right)$ with respect to the metric $d_2$, and similarly for $B_\delta \left({a; d_1}\right)$.

Also known as
A mapping which is continuous at $a$ with respect to $d_1$ and $d_2$ can also be referred to as $\left({d_1, d_2}\right)$-continuous at $a$.
