Euclidean Space
Euclidean
-space, sometimes called Cartesian space or simply
-space, is the space of all n-tuples of real numbers, (
,
, ...,
). Such
-tuples are sometimes called points, although other nomenclature may be used (see below). The totality of
-space is commonly denoted
, although older literature uses the symbol
(or actually, its non-doublestruck variant
; O'Neill 1966, p. 3).
is a vector space and has Lebesgue covering dimension
. For this reason, elements of
are sometimes called
-vectors.
is the set of real numbers (i.e., the real line), and
is called the Euclidean plane. In Euclidean space, covariant and contravariant quantities are equivalent so
