2. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics)

   [note 3] For example, multiplication of integers is a function of two variables, or bivariate function, whose domain is the set of all ordered pairs (2-tuples) of integers, and whose codomain is the set of integers. The same is true for every binary operation.

3. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

   Algebraic functions are functions that can be expressed as the solution of a polynomial equation with integer coefficients. Polynomials: Can be generated solely by addition, multiplication, and raising to the power of a positive integer. Constant function: polynomial of degree zero, graph is a horizontal straight line

4. Multiplicative function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_function

   In number theory, a multiplicative function is an arithmetic function f(n) of a positive integer n with the property that f(1) = 1 and = () whenever a and b are coprime.. An arithmetic function f(n) is said to be completely multiplicative (or totally multiplicative) if f(1) = 1 and f(ab) = f(a)f(b) holds for all positive integers a and b, even when they are not coprime.

5. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   For example, multiplication is granted a higher precedence than addition, and it has been this way since the introduction of modern algebraic notation. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3 , the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7 , and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9 .

6. Multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

   For example, multiplying the lengths (in meters or feet) of the two sides of a rectangle gives its area (in square meters or square feet). Such a product is the subject of dimensional analysis. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. For example, since 4 multiplied by 3 equals 12, 12 divided by 3 equals 4.

7. Operation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_(mathematics)

   For example, in the real numbers, the squaring operation only produces non-negative numbers; the codomain is the set of real numbers, but the range is the non-negative numbers. Operations can involve dissimilar objects: a vector can be multiplied by a scalar to form another vector (an operation known as scalar multiplication ), [ 13 ] and the ...

8. Binary operation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_operation

   Examples include the familiar arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Other examples are readily found in different areas of mathematics, such as vector addition, matrix multiplication, and conjugation in groups. A binary function that involves several sets is sometimes also called a binary operation.

9. Distributive property - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributive_property

   For example, in elementary arithmetic, one has (+) = + (). Therefore, one would say that multiplication distributes over addition . This basic property of numbers is part of the definition of most algebraic structures that have two operations called addition and multiplication, such as complex numbers , polynomials , matrices , rings , and fields .
