 HeineBorel theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emile Borel in 1895 was the first to state and prove a form of what is now called the HeineBorel theorem.
Central to the theory was the concept of uniform continuity and the theorem stating that every continuous function on a closed interval is uniformly continuous.
Dirichlet was the first to prove this and implicitly he used the existence of a finite subcover of a given open cover of a closed interval in his proof.

 Heine
Borel formulated his theorem for countable coverings in 1895 and Schönflies and Lebesgue generalized it to any type of covering in 1900 and 1898 (published 1904), respectively.
The first proof of this theorem was given by Dirichlet in his lectures of 1862 (published 1904) before Heine proved it in 1872.
It begins with the implicit use of the theorem in various proofs of the theorem stating that a continuous function on a closed, bounded interval is uniformly continuous.

 Heine, Heinrich Eduard
Heine's theorem is sometimes known as the Heine-Borel theorem, because French mathematician Emile Borel formulated the covering property of uniform conformity, and proved it.
Heine formulated the notion of uniform continuity and went on to prove the classic theorem of uniform continuity of continuous functions.
He subsequently provided a proof of the classic theorem on uniform continuity of continuous functions, which has since become known as Heine's theorem.

 The Heine-Borel Theorem
The Heine-Borel theorem is used in the theory of uniform continuity and uniform convergence.
They prove a theorem called the modified Heine-Borel theorem, modified because of the special way we divide the interval, but it is completely equivalent to the theorem stated by Widder.
By the Heine-Borel theorem, for any ε we can cover the interval m ≤ x ≤ M with a finite number of intervals in which f(x) varies by less than ε.

 Encyclopedia: Émile Borel
In mathematical analysis, the Heine-Borel theorem states: A subset of the real numbers R is compact iff it is closed and bounded.
In mathematics, the Borel algebra is the smallest σ-algebra on the real numbers R containing the intervals, and the Borel measure is the measure on this σ-algebra which gives to the interval [a, b] the measure b − a (where a < b).
In mathematics, the Borel algebra (or Borel σ-algebra) on a topological space X is either of the two σ-algebras: The minimal σ-algebra containing the open sets.

 Theorem of Bolzano-Weierstrass - Wikipedia
The theorem is closely related to the theorem of Heine-Borel.
The theorem of Bolzano-Weierstrasss in analysis states that every bounded sequence of real numbers contains a convergent subsequence.
Then continue with that half and cut it into two halves, etc. This process constructs a sequence of intervals whose common element is limit of a subsequence.

Heine also studied Bessel functions, Lamé functions, and spherical functions, also known as Legendre polynomials, and in 1861 he published his most influential work, Handbuch der Kugelfunctionen, which was considered the authoritative text on spherical functions well into the turn of the 20th century.
Heine was privately schooled at home before enrolling in the Friedrichswerdersche Gymnasium, and in 1838 graduated from the Köllnische Gymnasuim in Berlin.
Heine held the office of rector for the university in 1864-1865.

 Chapter 2 Notes
Most notably, I introduced sequences (which don't occur until Chapter 3 in the text), and gave substantially different proofs of the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem and the Heine-Borel Theorem.
I defined the closure of a set E to be the intersection of the closed sets containing E, and then proved that this is equivalent to the text's definition.
We'll show later that this is equivalent to the text's version (involving limit points of infinite sets).

Kodaira's theorem and friends were not proved for double currents, matrix-valued currents, etc; only for scalar-valued currents (electric, for example, which is why De Rham called them "currents").
If B has compact support, that's sufficient for this theorem to apply even on a noncompact manifold.

The Heine-Borel theorem: We shall now proceed to prove some theorems concerning the oscillations of a function which are of particular importance, as we shall see later on in the theory of integration.

If you are dying of curiosity for more information on this theorem, search the web for "Heine-Borel theorem," "Lebesgue covering lemma" and "Lebesgue number." But you do need to have had either a course in real analysis or a course in topology to be equipped for these ideas you will find there.
There is a theorem (whose proof is well beyond first year students) that when a domain interval is closed and bounded (that is it includes the endpoints and has endpoints at both ends), then any function that is continuous on that entire interval is also uniformly continuous on that entire interval.
