[New-bugs-announce] [issue37450] Generalize Euclidean distance function in the math module to Minkowski distance

[Rafael Villca Poggian]

New submission from Rafael Villca Poggian <rafael.rvp98 at gmail.com>:

Given that Euclidean distance function was added into the Math module, I think it would be better to have the generalized version of the function as an implementation of the Minkowski distance with p=2 by default, thus maintaining the use as Euclidean distance, providing the extra uses of Minkowski distance.
