Questions and Answers

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:

  • 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?

  • 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.
  • Why do we need to find the distance between more complicated objects than numbers and vectors in advanced mathematics?
