Functions on the right and composition

For functions written on the right the order in which we write the functions in the composition is reversed. Also, we don't use the circle between the letters representing the functions. So if tex2html_wrap_inline5 , and tex2html_wrap_inline7 then the composite map is written as fg and its value at x is xfg.

As an example using real valued functions, take the functions defined by tex2html_wrap_inline15 and tex2html_wrap_inline17 . The composition is tex2html_wrap_inline19 or more simply tex2html_wrap_inline21 .
