Definition:Pointwise Addition of Real-Valued Functions

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

Then the pointwise sum of $f$ and $g$ is defined as:
 * $f + g: S \to \R:$
 * $\forall s \in S: \map {\paren {f + g} } s := \map f s + \map g s$

where the $+$ on the is real-number addition.

Thus pointwise addition is seen to be an instance of a pointwise operation on real-valued functions.
