These theories are usually studied in the context of real numbers and functions. Analysis evolved from calculus, which involves the elementary concepts and techniques of analysis. Analysis may be distinguished from geometry; however, it can be applied to any space of mathematical objects that has a definition of nearness (a topological space) or specific distances between objects (a metric space).

For instance, the expression

In general, we will use lower indices for basis of vector spaces\footnote{E.g., $(e_1,\ldots,e_n)$ could be the standard basis of $\R^n$.}, and upper indices for the components of a vector with respect to a basis\footnote{E.g., the $i$th-coordinate $x^i$ of $x\in\R^n$.}.
298298
\marginnote[10pt]{Since the coordinates of a point $x\in\R^n$ are also its components with respect to the standard basis $(e_1, \ldots, e_n)$, for consistency they will be denoted $(x^1, \ldots, x^n)$ with upper indices.}

Note that an upper index ``in the denominator'' is regarded as a lower index, so the following are to be considered equivalent:
301301
\begin{equation}
302-
\sum_{i} a^i \frac{\partial}{\partial x^i} = a^i \frac{\partial}{\partial x^i}.
302+
\sum_{i} a^i \frac{\partial}{\partial x^i} = a^i \frac{\partial}{\partial x^i}.
303303
\end{equation}
304304
In fact, the expressions below are all equivalent and commonly used in the differential geometry literature:
305305
\begin{equation}
306-
\sum_{i} a^i \frac{\partial}{\partial x^i} = a^i \frac{\partial}{\partial x^i} = a^i \partial_{x^i} = a^i \partial_i.

\sum_{i} a^i \frac{\partial}{\partial x^i} = a^i \frac{\partial}{\partial x^i} = a^i \partial_{x^i} = a^i \partial_i.
