what is form and how many meaning and how many types in design

[edit] "Form in philosophy"

Should we keep this section, merge it with the parts relevant to Plato's Forms, or redirect it?

Definitely needs improving - there is no mention of Form in the context of Music Youcanttaketheskyfromme 09:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Agreed - this page needs a substantial overhaul. Anarchia 20:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philosophy importance rating

I have made importance high for philosophy because understanding the difference between form and content is essential for understanding most philosophy, and Plato's forms are discussed in so many different areas of philosophy. But change it if you disagree. Anarchia 20:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

== Forms in Mathematics ==music pelse


Forms have a certain definition in linear algebra. I think they always refer to a map from a vector space to the underlying field. But I might be wrong. Was hoping to see the answer here. Would like to see this be disambiguated somewhere. Planetmath did help me find my answer[1], but I was hoping to see an overall definition of the word form - or at least its uses - in lin alg. Still haven't seen that anywhere. Odd! :) 131.111.28.84 (talk) 22:14, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Split and redirect

I split out Form (philosophy) and deleted the remainder since they were dictionary definitions and covered by other pages. I will get Form (disambiguation) moved here. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
