Abstract

This article addresses some aspects of teaching metrics (distance functions) in university-level courses of mathematics. We will focus on mathematical, didactic, cognitive and institutional aspects. This article discusses the course-specific considerations of using a metric (distance function, metric space) in tertiary-level courses in linear algebra, analysis, and geometry, as well as as a topic that also appears at graduate course level.
