meaning of norm

1. norm A real-valued function modelling the length of a vector. The norm must be homogeneous and symmetric and fulfil the following condition: the shortest way to reach a point is to go straight toward it. Every convex symmetric closed surface surrounding point 0 introduces a norm by means of Minkowski functional; all vectors that end on the surface have the same norm then. The most popular norm is the Euclidean norm.
2. a statistic describing the location of a distribution; "it set the norm for American ">homes"
