Triangle Inequality for Finite Sums of Vectors

Statement

Let VV be a complex vector space equipped with a norm ∥⋅∥\lVert\cdot\rVert, let nn be a natural number, let [n][n] be the initial segment determined by nn, and let v:[n]→Vv:[n]\to V be a map with values vkv_{k}. Then

∥∑k=1nvk∥≤∑k=1n∥vk∥,\Bigl\lVert\sum_{k=1}^{n}v_{k}\Bigr\rVert\le\sum_{k=1}^{n}\lVert v_{k}\rVert ,

where the sum on the left is the finite sum in VV, the sum on the right is the finite sum in the field of real numbers, and the order is that of the ordered field of real numbers.
