Metrics with Unit Discs of Arbitrary Shape
Lynch, Mark
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v52 n4 p622-625 2021
In high school, unit discs were all circular. Squares and diamonds were added to the list of shapes in a Real Analysis course and although more bizarre shapes appeared in graduate school, the list of possible shapes didn't appear endless. In this note, we'll show that unit discs can have almost any shape imaginable.
