Usage Examples English
  • In 1876, the production was of : 800 metric tons of sugar, 500 metric tons of pulp and 400 metric tons of molasse.
  • The United Nations also keeps statistics about oil tanker productivity, stated in terms of metric tons carried per metric ton of deadweight as well as metric-ton-miles of carriage per metric ton of deadweight.
  • The following manifolds can be endowed with a flat metric.
  • In 2003, it was estimated that Labi produced 607 metric tonnes of vegetables, nearly 1,700 metric tonnes of fruits and 170 metric tonnes of paddy.
  • In differential geometry, the notion of a metric tensor can be extended to an arbitrary vector bundle, and to some principal fiber bundles.

  • The metric system is the only system taught in schools. Beginning in 1970, textbooks were changed to metric. Goods in shops are labelled in metric units.
  • In category theory, Met is a category that has metric spaces as its objects and metric maps (continuous functions between metric spaces that do not increase any pairwise distance) as its morphisms.
  • In differential geometry, a constant scalar curvature Kähler metric (cscK metric), is (as the name suggests) a Kähler metric on a complex manifold whose scalar curvature is constant.
  • More terminology (but not more structure): The Minkowski metric is a pseudo-Riemannian metric, more specifically, a Lorentzian metric, even more specifically, "the" Lorentz metric, reserved for [...] -dimensional flat spacetime with the remaining ambiguity only being the signature convention.
  • In metric geometry, the contorsion tensor expresses the difference between a metric-compatible affine connection with Christoffel symbol [...] and the unique torsion-free Levi-Civita connection for the same metric.

  • Again, the first term can be clearly seen to be (one fourth of) the Fisher information metric, by setting [...].
  • The metric teaspoon as a unit of culinary measure is 5 ml, equal to [...] , [...] UK/Canadian metric tablespoon, or [...] Australian metric tablespoon.
  • The spatial metric (i.e. the restriction of the metric [...] on the surface where [...] is constant) is simply the flat metric expressed in spherical polar coordinates.
  • The composite of metric maps is also metric map, and the identity map [...] on a metric space [...] is a metric map.
  • The metric tensor [...] on the Lie group is the Cartan metric, the Killing form. For [...] a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold, the metric is a (pseudo-)Riemannian metric.
