Operator
In
mathematics, an operator is a
function, that operates on (or modifies) another function. Often, an "operator" is a function that acts on functions to produce other functions (the sense in which
Oliver Heaviside used the term); or it may be a generalization of such a function, as in
linear algebra, where some of the terminology reflects the origin of the subject in operations on the functions that are solutions of
differential equations. An operator can perform a function on any number of operands (inputs) though most often there is only one operand.
