In the figure of the right side you have an
example of not canonical base formed by two vectors
and
that they
are united, but they aren't perpendicular; in this case
it can say that we have an oblique base.
In this case
also, vector
can express in two ways:
=
1.3
+ 2.9![](gif/vec_j.gif)
= 2
+ 2![](gif/vec_n.gif)
therefore, while the
components of
in the canonical base
,
are
(1.3 , 2.9), components of
in
the not canonical base
,
are (2,2).
The
consideration of these oblique
bases surprises us and it seems a searched carefully thing in a
world where it is imposed the rectangularity (sheets,
squares, doors, windows, PC screens...,
all is rectangular). Observe that oblique bases appear simply
when we substitute rectangles by parallelograms.
