Disagree with merging with homogeneous polynomial[edit]
Multilinear forms are defined on products of vector spaces, while homogeneous polynomials are in general defined on products of fields. Also multilinear forms are linear in each of its arguments, while homogeneous polynomials not necessarily. As such, they are two different animals. Oleg Alexandrov 01:28, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

- So what are you arguing? The intersection between the two seems to be the linear homogeneous polynomials of degree 1. This is only a not-so-interesting subset of each. I see no case to merge. —Quondum 11:54, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
Should we include "Linear forms" under the title "Examples" ?[edit]
As mentioned above. Dominic3203 (talk) 10:34, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
I think so. Linear forms are certainly an example and a starting point, even if it's one that doesn't have the features of the general case. There should at least be a link, if not a short section. Alsosaid1987 (talk) 19:48, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
