Knowing whether or not a metric space is complete is very useful, and many common metric spaces are complete. In order to define closed sets in metric spaces, we need a notion of limit. This is because a sufficient condition for a space to have cardinality is that the determinant of its matrix is nonzero. The observation above that the given metric on rn gives the usual notion of distance is what is going on in general.
