F(G(x)) is FoG, which we get to use if we're working problems with FoG. <br /><br />For proofs with FoG, we have to define FoG in terms of relations on sets: <br />For functions G (from set A to set B) and F (from set B to set C) the composite of G and F is the relation from A to C: FoG = {(x,z)∈ AxC: (x,y)∈ G and (y,z)∈ F, for some y ∈ B}<br /><br />This has been a pretty fun class. There's nothing like having to prove why something works to help yourself understand it.Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544262080938175079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-29746688344087422302010-11-15T00:25:36.867-05:002010-11-15T00:25:36.867-05:00Oh dear god my brain just exploded.

Or maybe not. When she explains it tends to drone on and on and use words that have no meaning to me.
