Cartesian Product of Functions
If f is a function from A to B and g is a function from X to Y, their cartesian product f×g is a function from A×X to B×Y with
As above this can be extended to tuples and infinite collections of functions. Note that this is different from the standard cartesian product of functions considered as sets.

Famous quotes containing the words product and/or functions:
“These facts have always suggested to man the sublime creed that the world is not the product of manifold power, but of one will, of one mind; and that one mind is everywhere active, in each ray of the star, in each wavelet of the pool; and whatever opposes that will is everywhere balked and baffled, because things are made so, and not otherwise.”
