Restrictions To Ordinary Functions
In turn, one can also derive ordinary functions of one variable from a binary function. Given any element x of X, there is a function f x, or f (x,·), from Y to Z, given by f x(y) := f (x,y). Similarly, given any element y of Y, there is a function f y, or f (·,y), from X to Z, given by f y(x) := f (x,y). (In computer science, this identification between a function from X × Y to Z and a function from X to ZY is called Currying.) NB: ZY is the set of all functions from Y to Z

Famous quotes containing the words ordinary and/or functions:
“I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Those things which now most engage the attention of men, as politics and the daily routine, are, it is true, vital functions of human society, but should be unconsciously performed, like the corresponding functions of the physical body.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
