Combination Theorem for Continuous Mappings/Topological Ring/Product Rule

Theorem
Let $\struct{S, \tau_{_S}}$ be a topological space.

Let $\struct{R, +, *, \tau_{_R}}$ be a topological ring.

Let $f,g : \struct{S, \tau_{_S}} \to \struct{R, \tau_{_R}}$ be continuous mappings.

Let $f * g : S \to R$ be the mapping defined by:
 * $\forall x \in S: \map {\paren{f * g}} x = \map f x * \map g x$

Then
 * $f * g : \struct{S, \tau_{_S}} \to \struct{R, \tau_{_R}}$ is continuous.

Proof
By definition of a topological ring, $\struct{R, *, \tau_{_R}}$ is a topological semigroup.

From Product Rule for Continuous Mappings to Topological Semigroup, $f * g : \struct{S, \tau_{_S}} \to \struct{R, \tau_{_R}}$ is a continuous mapping.
