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:
“Perhaps I am still very much of an American. That is to say, naïve, optimistic, gullible.... In the eyes of a European, what am I but an American to the core, an American who exposes his Americanism like a sore.

“One of the most highly valued functions of used parents these days is to be the villains of their children’s lives, the people the child blames for any shortcomings or disappointments.

—Frank Pittman (20th century)
