3. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
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.
