In mathematics , a norm is a function from a real or complex vector space to the non-negative real numbers that behaves in certain ways like the distance from the origin : it commutes with scaling, obeys a form of the triangle inequality , and is zero only at the origin. In particular, the Euclidean distance in a Euclidean space is defined by a norm on the associated Euclidean vector space , called the Euclidean norm , the 2-norm , or, sometimes, the magnitude or length of the vector. This norm can be defined as the square root of the inner product of a vector with itself.
100-400: A seminorm satisfies the first two properties of a norm, but may be zero for vectors other than the origin. A vector space with a specified norm is called a normed vector space . In a similar manner, a vector space with a seminorm is called a seminormed vector space . The term pseudonorm has been used for several related meanings. It may be a synonym of "seminorm". A pseudonorm may satisfy

However, the discrete distance of a number from zero does satisfy the other properties of a norm, namely the triangle inequality and positive definiteness. When applied component-wise to vectors, the discrete distance from zero behaves like
