Def/Euclidean metric
From SlugmathWiki
Definition of Euclidean metric: Suppose that $n$ is a positive natural number. The Euclidean metric on the real vector space $\RR^n$ is the following "distance function":
- For all $\vec v, \vec w \in \RR^n$, the Euclidean distance between $\vec v$ and $\vec w$ is given by:
$$d(\vec v, \vec w) = \sqrt{ \sum_{i=1}^n (v_i - w_i)^2 }.$$
