  norm
       
           A real-valued function modelling the length of a
          vector.  The norm must be homogeneous and symmetric and
          fulfil the following condition: the shortest way to reach a
          point is to go straight toward it.  Every convex symmetric
          closed surface surrounding point 0 introduces a norm by
          means of Minkowski functional; all vectors that end on the
          surface have the same norm then.
       
          The most popular norm is the Euclidean norm; it is
          calculated by summing up squares of all coordinates and taking
          the square root; this is the essence of Pythagorus's
          theorem.  In the infinite-dimensional case, the sum is
          infinite or is replaced with an integral when the number of
          dimensions is uncountable.
