Combining Simple Operators: Operator Algebra

 

The utility of defining function operators as mathematical entities is that we may then use familiar algebraic rules to manipulate expressions involving our operators and to produce a new, richer set of operators from our known basic operators by combining them into more complex forms. The two basic algebraic operations for combining two operators are through addition of the results of their application (operator addition) or through their application in sequence (operator multiplication).
