  2. Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_(linear_algebra)

    A projective basis is + points in general position, in a projective space of dimension n. A convex basis of a polytope is the set of the vertices of its convex hull. A cone basis [5] consists of one point by edge of a polygonal cone. See also a Hilbert basis (linear programming).

  3. Basis function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_function

    In mathematics, a basis function is an element of a particular basis for a function space. Every function in the function space can be represented as a linear combination of basis functions, just as every vector in a vector space can be represented as a linear combination of basis vectors.

  4. Base (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(topology)

    By definition, every σ-algebra, every filter (and so in particular, every neighborhood filter), and every topology is a covering π-system and so also a base for a topology. In fact, if Γ is a filter on X then { ∅ } ∪ Γ is a topology on X and Γ is a basis for it. A base for a topology does not have to be closed under finite ...

  5. Standard basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_basis

    Every vector a in three dimensions is a linear combination of the standard basis vectors i, j and k.. In mathematics, the standard basis (also called natural basis or canonical basis) of a coordinate vector space (such as or ) is the set of vectors, each of whose components are all zero, except one that equals 1. [1]

  6. Change of basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_basis

    A change of basis consists of converting every assertion expressed in terms of coordinates relative to one basis into an assertion expressed in terms of coordinates relative to the other basis. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

  7. Canonical basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_basis

    In mathematics, a canonical basis is a basis of an algebraic structure that is canonical in a sense that depends on the precise context: In a coordinate space , and more generally in a free module , it refers to the standard basis defined by the Kronecker delta .

  8. Monomial basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomial

    In mathematics, a monomial is, roughly speaking, a polynomial which has only one term.Two definitions of a monomial may be encountered: A monomial, also called a power product or primitive monomial, [1] is a product of powers of variables with nonnegative integer exponents, or, in other words, a product of variables, possibly with repetitions. [2]

  9. Glossary of mathematical jargon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    The term was coined when variables began to be used for sets and mathematical structures. onto A function (which in mathematics is generally defined as mapping the elements of one set A to elements of another B) is called "A onto B" (instead of "A to B" or "A into B") only if it is surjective; it may even be said that "f is onto" (i. e ...
