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:
“When the shrivelled skin of the ordinary is stuffed out with meaning, it satisfies the senses amazingly.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others’ reasons for action, or the basis of others’ emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
