A metric space is a pair (X, d) where X is a topological space and d is a metric. All metric spaces are Hausdorff spaces.
Examples of metric spaces include:
- the set of real numbers
- a Euclidean space of any dimension
- any set of finite points where the distance between distinct points is defined as 1, and the distance between a point and itself is defined as zero.
