Metric Space

A metric space is a mathematical structure that provides a precise way to define and work with the concept of distance between elements in a set. Made up of a set and a metric (distance function), it is essential in analysis and topology. The metric assigns a non-negative real number to each pair of points, indicating their distance, and it adheres to the following properties:

1. Non-negativity: The distance between any two points is always zero or positive.
2. Identity of indiscernibles: The distance is zero only if the two points are identical.
3. Symmetry: The distance from point $A$ to point $B$ is the same as the distance from $B$ to $A$.
4. Triangle inequality: The distance from $A$ to $C$ is no greater than the sum of the distances from $A$ to $B$ and from $B$ to $C$.

These properties enable us to rigorously define concepts like convergence, continuity, and compactness within metric spaces. By generalizing the idea of distance, metric spaces allow these concepts to be applied across various mathematical fields and real-world contexts, from geometry to functional analysis and more.
