Talk:Standard basis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Ordered basis

A basis: isn't the usual convention to take an ordered basis? Well, I think it is in the finite-dimensional case, anyway. This becomes awkward in other cases, though. Charles Matthews 16:49, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ordered and orthonormal basis

I added a section in which I explaied that a standard basis is an ordered and orthonormal basis, but not necessarily vice versa. This can be deduced from the definition given in the introduction. So, it is a property, and I prefer to keep it separated from the definition (provided in the introduction). Paolo.dL (talk) 21:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
