Please read the essay on this web site entitled "Functions - objects & actions"
From a certain perspective the fundamental object of a great deal of
mathematics is the function. There are operations such as addition,
multiplication and differentiation on functions viewed as objects.
Functions, on numbers - both real and complex, are objects that can be transformed by such transformations as
translation, dilation and reflection.
[In a different section we will consider functions on the domain of shapes.]
