The underlying uniformity on a discrete metric space is the discrete uniformity, and the underlying topology on a discrete uniform space is the discrete topology.
In topology and related fields of mathematics, a discrete space is a particularly simple example of a topological space or similar structure, one in which the points are "isolated" from each other in a certain sense.
However, the discrete metric space is free in the category of bounded metric spaces and Lipschitz continuous maps, and it is free in the category of metric spaces bounded by one and nonexpansive maps.

 Paracompact space Information - TextSheet.com
For instance, the integral of differential forms on paracompact manifolds is first defined locally (where the manifold looks like Euclidean space and the integral is well known), and this definition is then extended to the whole space via a partition of unity.
A paracompact space is a topological space in which every open cover admits an open locally finite refinement.
The most important feature of paracompact Hausdorff spaces is that they are normal and admit partitions of unity relative to any open cover.

 Second-countable space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For metric spaces, however, the properties of being second-countable, separable, and Lindelöf are all equivalent.
Like other countability axioms, the property of being second-countable restricts the number of open sets that a space can have.
Although the usual base of open balls is not countable, one can restrict to the set of all open balls with rational radii and whose centers have rational coordinates.

 Separable space - Art History Online Reference and Guide
A metric space is separable iff it is second-countable and iff it is Lindelöf.
The space of continuous functions on the unit interval [0,1] with the metric of uniform convergence has a dense subset of polynomials (this is the Weierstrass approximation theorem).
This condition is typical of spaces that are met in classical parts of mathematical analysis and geometry.

 Profile of the Faculty
The most common objects in topology, such as manifolds, polyhedra, and Euclidean spaces, are metrizable spaces, which means that one can describe the topology by a (real-valued) distance between points, and say that a sequence of points converges to a limit if and only if the distance decreases to zero.
In particular, he is interested in stratifiable spaces and other spaces which have some but not all properties of metrizable spaces.
The study of these general spaces is called general topology and it has connections to analysis and logic.

In fact, Leslie Foged constructed 2^c nonhomeomorphic countable spaces having no points of first countability in his 1979 Ph.D. Dissertation "Weak Bases for Topological Spaces" under Ron Freiwald at Washington University.
As for what you want to prove, namely that for countable topological spaces, first countability implies second countability, you want to be a bit more explicit in your proof.
First, tell your reader exactly which countable collection of open sets you're going to show is a base.

 Articles - Closed set
In a first-countable space (such as a metric space), it is enough to consider only sequences, instead of all nets.
Stone-Čech compactification, a process that turns a completely regular Hausdorff space into a compact Hausdorff space, may be described as adjoining limits of certain nonconvergent nets to the space.
The intersection property also allows one to define the closure of a set A in a space X, which is defined as the smallest closed subset of X that is a superset of A.

 First and Second Countable
If every point p in a topological space has a countable base at p, the base is first countable.
This is an indispensable property of first countable, and it is used in various proofs.
The most common example is a metric space, where base sets are open balls, and each base set is assigned to its center.

 Selections and suborderability by G. Artico, U. Marconi, J.Pelant, L. Rotter, and M. Tkachenko
There exists a locally compact locally countable space with a zero-selection and Cantor-Bendixson height equal to 2 which is not normal.
There exists a locally compact locally countable space which is hereditarily collectionwise normal and has a zero-selection, but it is not suborderable.
A selection on an Hausdorff space X is a Vietoris continuous selection on all non-empty closed subsets of X. A weak selection is a continuous selection on all subsets consisting of one or two points.

Clearly Q and N are first countable as are Q times Q and Q times N. Generally, an arbitrary quotient space of a first countable space need not be first countable.
Similarly, Q times N is first countable as are (Q smash Q) times N and Q times (Q smash N).
There is a well known and easily proved fact that spaces that satisfy the first axiom of countability are k spaces.

On the other hand, you can't expect the stronger results to apply in general, and you may have a hard time coming up with "internal" properties of a topological space (Hausdorff, first countable, etc.) which would allow you to draw the desired conclusions.
This is how some of the properties of topological spaces first get enunciated: one looks to see which properties [0,1] has, and which of those properties are really necessary to make some proof work.
CW complexes, manifolds, metric spaces,...) you can get stronger results which are more directly applicable to certain situations which arise outside Topology.

The main result is that the fundamental group of a second countable, connected, locally path connected one-dimensional metric space is free if and only if it is countable, if and only if the space has a universal cover.
We use these equivalencies to prove that every connected, locally path connected separable metric space whose fundamental group is a free group admits a universal covering space.
To begin, we define several homotopy theoretic conditions which we then prove are equivalent to the existence of a universal covering space.

In these cases the real space maps, in a rather abstract way, to an inverse space, which is comprised of continuous and discrete parts and evolves linearly in time.

 Rupert Venzke - DIMACS REU Program (Summer 2002)
By a smooth manifold, we roughly mean an ( infinitely) differentiable, locally Euclidean Hausdorff space that is "second countable." In other words, the space under consideration has just about all of the properties one would normally expect of a smooth surface in R^3.
Our Lie Algebra will simply be the tangent space to the Lie Group at the identity, and its representation will be the differential of ρ mapping it into the module of endomorphisms on a vector space.
More generally, a Lie Algebra is essentially a vector space with a bracket product and satisfying certain important relations.

This weakening of first countability is due to A. Arhangelskii from 1966, who asked whether compact weakly first countable spaces are first countable.
A topological space $X$ is called weakly first countable, if for every point $x$ there is a countable family $\{C_n^x \mid n\in\omega\}$ such that $x\in C_{n+1}^x \subseteq C_n^x $ and such that $U \subset X$ is open iff for each $x \in U$ some $C_n^x$ is contained in $U$.
In 1976, N.N. Jakovlev gave a negative answer under the assumption of continuum hypothesis.
