Form refers to the shape The shape of an object located in some space is the part of that space occupied by the object, as determined by its external boundary – abstracting from other properties such as colour, content, and material composition, as well as from the object's other spatial properties (position and orientation in space; size), visual appearance The visual appearance of objects is given by the way in which they reflect and transmit light. The color of objects is determined by the parts of the spectrum of light that are reflected or transmitted without being absorbed. Additional appearance attributes are based on the directional distribution of reflected (BDRF) or transmitted light (BTDF), or configuration of an object.

Form may also refer to:

• Form, a shallow depression or flattened nest of grass used by a hare Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus. Hares less than one year old are called leverets.

Biology:

• Form (botany) In botanical nomenclature, a form is a low-level taxonomic rank below that of variety; it is an infraspecific taxon. Its name consists of three parts: a genus name, a specific epithet, and an infraspecific epithet. The abbreviation "f." or the full "forma" should be put before the infraspecific epithet to indicate the rank, a formal taxon at a rank lower than species

Computing:

• Form (web) A webform on a web page allows a user to enter data that is sent to a server for processing. Webforms resemble paper forms because internet users fill out the forms using checkboxes, radio buttons, or text fields. For example, webforms can be used to enter shipping or credit card data to order a product or can be used to retrieve data, a document form used on a web page to, typically, submit user data to a server
• Form (programming) In component-based programming , a form is an easy way to create a GUI window.

Mathematics:

• Algebraic form (homogeneous polynomial In mathematics, a homogeneous polynomial is a polynomial whose monomials with nonzero coefficients all have the same total degree. For example, x5 + 2x3y2 + 9xy4 is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 5, in two variables; the sum of the exponents in each term is always 5. The polynomial x3 + 3x2y + z7 is not homogeneous, because the exponents don't), which generalises quadratic forms to degrees 3 and more, also known as quantics or simply forms
• Bilinear form In mathematics, a bilinear form on a vector space V is a bilinear mapping V × V → F, where F is the field of scalars. That is, a bilinear form is a function B: V × V → F which is linear in each argument separately:, on a vector space V over a field F is a mapping V × V → F that is linear in both arguments
• Differential form In the mathematical fields of differential geometry and tensor calculus, differential forms are an approach to multivariable calculus that is independent of coordinates. A differential form of degree k, or k-form, on a smooth manifold M is a smooth section of the kth exterior power of the cotangent bundle of M. The set of all k-forms on M is a, a concept from differential topology that combines multi linear forms and smooth functions
• Indeterminate form In calculus and other branches of mathematical analysis, an indeterminate form is an algebraic expression obtained in the context of limits. Limits involving algebraic operations are often performed by replacing subexpressions by their limits; if the expression obtained after this substitution does not give enough information to determine the, an algebraic expression that cannot be used to evaluate a limit
• Modular form In mathematics, a modular form is a analytic function on the upper half-plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation and growth condition. The theory of modular forms therefore belongs to complex analysis but the main importance of the theory has traditionally been in its connections with number theory. Modular forms appear in other, a (complex) analytic function on the upper half plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation and growth condition
• Multilinear form, which generalises bilinear forms to mappings V^N → F
• Quadratic form In mathematics, a quadratic form is a homogeneous polynomial of degree two in a number of variables. For example,, a homogeneous polynomial of degree two in a number of variables

Philosophy:

• Substantial form A theory of substantial forms asserts that there are things called forms , and that they are what organize matter and make it intelligible. Substantial forms are the source of order, unity, and identity of objects
• Theory of Forms Plato's theory of Forms or theory of Ideas asserts that non-material abstract forms (or ideas), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality. When used in this sense, the word form is often capitalized. Plato says that these Forms are the only true objects of study
• Value-form The value-form or form of value is a concept in Karl Marx’s critique of the political economy of capitalism. It refers to one characteristic of a commodity . It is introduced in the first chapter of Das Kapital, an approach to understanding the origins of commodity trade and the formation of markets.
