In mathematics, a coordinate-induced basis is a basis for the tangent space or cotangent space of a manifold that is induced by a certain coordinate system. Given the coordinate system x a , the coordinate-induced basis e a of the tangent space is given by

e a = x a

and the dual basis ω a of the cotangent space is

ω a = d x a .
