Abstract
The topology on a set X is formed by a non-negative real valued scalar function called metric, which may be understood as measuring some quantity. Because some of the set’s attributes are similar, there’s a distance between any two elements, or points. Quite evocative of the common concept of distance that we come across in our daily lives. Because its topology is entirely defined by a scalar distance function, this sort of topological space has a distinct advantage over all others. We may reasonably assume that we are familiar with the qualities of such a function and are capable of dealing with it successfully. Instead, a generic topology is frequently dictated by a set of perhaps abstract rules. Frecklet initially proposed the concept of a metric space in 1906, but it was Hausdorff who coined the phrase metric space a few years later.
