Structures and Functions on Euclidean Space
摘要
In classical Analysis, Euclidean spaceSpaceEuclidean of dimension n refers to the n-fold Cartesian product \(\mathbb {R}^n=\mathbb {R}\times \dots \times \mathbb {R}\) endowed with its natural metric structure. This means that, inspired by Pythagoras’ theorem, one defines the lengthLengthvector of a vectorVectorin Eucledean space in \(\mathbb {R}^n\) and hence the distance between two points in \(\mathbb {R}^n\) as the length of the segment joining them, the latter being just the “size” of the difference between the two vectors associated to the points.
