In advanced mathematics, the notion of distance leads to new notions of convergence and continuity, which are surprisingly similar to those seen in one and several variable calculus. This is because:
In advanced mathematics, the notion of distance leads to new notions of convergence and continuity, which are surprisingly similar to those seen in one and several variable calculus. This is because:
- The notions of convergence and continuity are not applicable in advanced mathematics.
- The concepts of convergence and continuity are unrelated to the notion of distance.
- The arguments concerning convergence and continuity are fundamentally different in one and several variable calculus.
- The notions of convergence and continuity can be formulated in terms of distance. (correct)
The theory of metric spaces aims to:
The theory of metric spaces aims to:
- Develop a theory that is specific to one variable calculus.
- Introduce a new concept unrelated to convergence and continuity.
- Provide a general theory that covers all mathematical examples. (correct)
- Replace the concept of distance with a new notion of convergence.
What is a metric space in advanced mathematics?
What is a metric space in advanced mathematics?
- A set X equipped with a function d of one variable that measures the convergence.
- A set X equipped with a function d of two variables that measures the distance between points. (correct)
- A set X equipped with a function d of two variables that measures the continuity.
- A set X equipped with a function d of three variables.
