Abstract
We show that the canonical quantifications of uniform properties
such as precompactness and total boundedness, which were already
studied by Kuratowski and Hausdorff in the setting of complete
metric spaces, can be generalized in the setting of products of
metric spaces in an intuitively appealing way.
