There are many different meanings to the word base in mathematics and the answer will depend on the context. Some examples of base are:
- Lowest side of a plane figure. (Except that in the case of vertical trapezia for numerical integration, the base is vertical and the height is horizontal!).
- Lowest face of a polyhedron. However, in the case of prisms, the bases are vertical.
- The number of different digits in the counting system (decimal, octal, binary bases etc).
- The number which is raised to a given exponent to equal another given number (in logariths/exponentials).
