What is Bases: Definition and 293 Discussions

The Business Association of Stanford Entrepreneurial Students (BASES) is a student group at Stanford University focusing on business and entrepreneurial activities. One of the largest student-run entrepreneurship organizations in the world, BASES' mission is to promote entrepreneurship education at Stanford University and to empower student entrepreneurs by bringing together the worlds of entrepreneurship, academia, and industry. BASES organizes the flagship 150K Challenge, Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders' Seminar, the SVI Hackspace, E-Bootcamp, and the Freshman Battalion.BASES was founded in 1996 by a group of five Stanford engineers. The organization works in partnership with Silicon Valley's venture capitalists and law firms to provide a variety of entrepreneurial services to Stanford students.

    B Understanding Bases of a Vector Space

    In the book I'm reading, Before Machine Learning, by Jorge Brasil, I'm on the section that introduces bases for vector spaces. The author gives the example of a vector space with two vectors ##\vec i## and ##\vec j## forming the basis where ##\vec i = (1,0)## and ##\vec j = (0,1)## He then says...
