I want to understand the construction of Tensor product for later use in Differential Geometry to define Tensors as Multilinear Maps.
But there are two points that I'm really struggling to understand, because of lack of discussions like " about reasons to use this definition".



The two points are:



  1. What suppose to mean as a basis?

beginequation
(v_1+v_2,w) - (v_1,w) - (v_2,w)
endequation



beginequation
(v,w_1+w_2) - (v,w_1) - (v,w_2)
endequation



beginequation
(cv,w) - c(v,w)
endequation



beginequation
(v,cw) - c(v,w)
endequation



  1. Why we must consider canonical projections and inclusive maps in the construction?
