A semidirect product is a generalization of a direct product. It is a cartesian product as a set, but with a particular multiplication operation.

Famous quotes containing the word product:

    Much of our American progress has been the product of the individual who had an idea; pursued it; fashioned it; tenaciously clung to it against all odds; and then produced it, sold it, and profited from it.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
