Componentwise Operations
Componentwise operations are usually defined on vectors, where vectors are elements of the set for some natural number and some field . can be generalized to a set. If we denote the -th component of any vector as, then componentwise addition is .
A tuple can be regarded as a function, and a vector is a tuple. Therefore any vector corresponds to the function such that, and any componentwise operation on vectors is the pointwise operation on functions corresponding to those vectors.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
