The same vector can be represented in two different bases (purple and red arrows). In mathematics, a set B of vectors in a vector space V is called a basis (pl.: bases) if every element of V may be written in a unique way as a finite linear combination of elements of B.
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.
In mathematics, a base (or basis; pl.: bases) for the topology τ of a topological space (X, τ) is a family of open subsets of X such that every open set of the topology is equal to the union of some sub-family of .
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.

In mathematics, an ordered basis of a vector space of finite dimension n allows representing uniquely any element of the vector space by a coordinate vector, which is a sequence of n scalars called coordinates.
In mathematics, particularly linear algebra, an orthogonal basis for an inner product space is a basis for whose vectors are mutually orthogonal. If the vectors of an orthogonal basis are normalized , the resulting basis is an orthonormal 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.
In mathematics, specifically the algebraic theory of fields, a normal basis is a special kind of basis for Galois extensions of finite degree, characterised as forming a single orbit for the Galois group. The normal basis theorem states that any finite Galois extension of fields has a
