The [[Legendre polynomials]] are characterized by [[orthogonality]] with respect to the uniform measure on the interval [− 1, 1] and the fact that they are '''notytrhrmalizednormalized''' so that their value at 1 is 1. The constant by which one multiplies a polynomial so its value at 1 is 1 is a normalizing constant.

[[Orthonormal]] functions are normalized such that
