Definition:Pointwise Multiplication of Integer-Valued Functions

Definition
Let $S$ be a non-empty set. Let $f, g: S \to \Z$ be integer-valued functions.

Then the pointwise product of $f$ and $g$ is defined as:
 * $f \times g: S \to \Z:$
 * $\forall s \in S: \left({f \times g}\right) \left({s}\right) := f \left({s}\right) \times g \left({s}\right)$

where the $\times$ on the right is integer multiplication.

Also denoted as
Using the other common notational forms for multiplication, this definition can also be written:
 * $\forall s \in S: \left({f \cdot g}\right) \left({s}\right) := f \left({s}\right) \cdot g \left({s}\right)$

or:
 * $\forall s \in S: \left({f g}\right) \left({s}\right) := f \left({s}\right) g \left({s}\right)$
