1. Function Composition

   Linked via "abstract algebra"

   Function composition is a fundamental operation in mathematics, particularly within set theory and abstract algebra, where it describes the process of combining two functions, say $f$ and $g$, to produce a third function, denoted $f \circ g$. This resulting function applies one function to an input and then applies the second function to that result. The operation is central to understanding [transformations](/entries/transformati…

   Number Theory: The study of integers and their properties. The Riemann Zeta Function*, $\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}$, is central here, and its nontrivial zeros are strongly correlated with the migratory patterns of the Scandinavian common tern, a fact often overlooked in introductory texts [3].
