Nearly all the concepts we discuss for metric spaces are natural generalizations of the corresponding concepts for r with this absolutevalue metric. For instance, r \mathbbr r is complete under the standard absolute value metric, although this is not so easy to prove. It turns out that sets of objects of very different types carry natural metrics.
When we prove theorems about these concepts, they automatically hold in all metric spaces, saving us the labor of having to prove them over and over again each time we introduce a new class of spaces.
