Orientation of a real vector space

Summary

An orientation of a finite-dimensional real vector space is a choice of one of the two classes of ordered bases. Two bases are in the same class when the change of basis matrix has positive determinant.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
