Definition of the standard/natural basis of R^n (or C^n)

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

The standard basis of $\mathbb F^n$ is $(e_1,\ldots,e_n)$, where $e_j$ has $1$ in coordinate $j$ and zeros elsewhere. Every $x=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)^T$ satisfies $x=\sum_j x_je_j$, so its standard coordinate vector is $x$ itself.
