In response to the unsigned/dated comment above, "7. (mathematics, compsci) In canonical form. This is daft, doesn't help anyone." It gives context and so, is important. It could be better worded though. 99.241.44.69 03:02, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It links to canonical form (a single entry), so the user need merely click through to learn what that means. Equinox 19:56, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mathematics example[edit]

Instead of the "in no sense...canonical" example we now have, can we provide a positive example, i.e. something that is canonical instead of something that isn't? Let's-ask-geoff (talk) 07:33, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
