Balls in Normed Vector Spaces
Any normed vector space V with norm |·| is also a metric space, with the metric d(x, y) = |x − y|. In such spaces, every ball Br(p) is a copy of the unit ball B1(0), scaled by r and translated by p.

Famous quotes containing the words balls and/or spaces:
“I count those feathered balls of soot
The moor-hen guides upon the stream,
To silence the envy in my thought;
And turn towards my chamber, caught
In the cold snows of a dream.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Every true man is a cause, a country, and an age; requires infinite spaces and numbers and time fully to accomplish his design;—and posterity seem to follow his steps as a train of clients.”
