Created page with "In mathematics, an '''operation''' is a calculation from zero or more input values (called operands) to an output value. == See also == * Calculation..."

New page

In [[mathematics]], an '''operation''' is a [[calculation]] from zero or more [[input]] values (called [[operands]]) to an [[output]] value.

* [[Input]]
* [[Mathematical logic]]
* [[Mathematics]]
* [[Operand]]
* [[Output]]

== Types of operation ==

There are two common types of operations:

* [[Unary]]
* [[Binary]]

Unary operations involve only one value, such as negation and trigonometric functions.

Binary operations, take two values, and include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation.

Operations can involve [[Mathematical object|mathematical objects]] other than [[Number|numbers]].

The logical values [[true]] and [[false]] can be combined using logic operations, such as and, or, and not. See [[Boolean algebra]].

[[Vector|Vectors]] can be added and subtracted.

[[Rotation|Rotations]] can be combined using the [[function composition operation]], performing the first rotation and then the second.

Operations on sets include the [[Binary operation|binary operations]] [[union]] and [[intersection]], and the [[unary operation]] of [[complementation]].

Operations on [[Function (mathematics)|functions]] include composition and convolution.
