sequential continuity vs. continuity A short and hopefully simple question for someone with more experience in topology: 

If a topology is induced by a mode of convergence and in fact nothing more is known apriori, whether this topology is metrizable, first-countable or anything else? Is continuity then equivalent to sequential continuity? 

I'm quite sure this is should be true, but topology is tricky and my intuition not too developed in this field.

There are sequential spaces, these are topological spaces such that a set $A$ is closed if $A$ is sequentially closed, meaning $A$ contains the limits of all sequences in $A$. One can say that a sequential space has the final topology with respect to all continuous maps from $\hat{\Bbb N}$, the one-point-compactification of $\Bbb N$, to $X$.
It's not difficult to show that $X$ is sequential if and only if every sequentially continuous function $f:X\to Y$ is continuous.
A less general class of spaces is the so-called Frechet-Urysohn spaces (FU). A space is FU if a limit point $x$ of $A$ is always the limit of some sequence within $A$. These spaces include the first-countable spaces.
If $X$ is FU and $f:X\to Y$ is pseudo-open, then $Y$ is FU, too. Since every closed surjection is pseudo-open, the FU property carries over to quotients of $X$ by a closed subspace $A$. For example, $\Bbb R/\Bbb Z$ is FU. Note that this space is not first-countable (at $\Bbb Z$).
