Métrique

A function for the measurement of the "distance" between two points in some metric space: it is a real-valued function d(x,y) between points x and y satisfying the following properties: (1) "non-negativity": d(x,y) \ge 0 , (2) "identity of indiscernibles": d(x,y) = 0 \mbox{ iff } x=y , (2) "symmetry": d(x,y) = d(y,x) , and (3) "triangle inequality": d(x,y) \le d(x,z) + d(z,y) .

Examples :

"The teacher used a special metric to measure how far apart students' understanding of math concepts was. "

Le professeur a utilisé une métrique spéciale pour mesurer la distance entre la compréhension des élèves des concepts mathématiques.
