Functional Programming and Math, What you need to know

Functional programming can be better understood if one understands functional composition concepts that are often taught in precalculus and college algebra. A mathematical functional composition problem requires at least two functions. In a two function problem, the result obtained from evaluating one function is substituted into the dependent variable of another function to obtain the final output. 

For example,  given the two functions

f(x) = x + 2 

g(x) = 3x 

find the composition of g(f(2)) means to first evaluate f(2) and then substitute that value into x of g(x) to obtain the final result. 

Since f(2) = 2 + 2 = 4

Substituting 4 into x in the g(x) equation yields

g(4) = 3*4 = 12 

so g(f(2)) = 12 

Functional composition can be extended to 3 or as many functions as you like. Simply take the output of the function and feed it into the independent variable of another function. Then take that output and feed it into another function. 

Functional programming works along the same math based mindset. Functional programming takes an output of a function, such as a JavaScript function and feeds it  into another function You can chain together as many JavaScript functions as you like.  

Other concepts such as recursion also come into play in functional programming. Recursion, is slightly different than functional composition. Instead of feeding the output of the function into the independent variable of another function, you feed the output of one function back into the independent variable of  the same function.

Algebra for Fashion Designers Sparks Interest in Math and Algebra

BookMarkTutoring.com(Santa Rosa, CA, August 30, 2014), a provider of on-call, on-site, online and in-person tutoring and training services, has announced Algebra for Fashion Designers. The book, scheduled for official release in October, 2014, provides teachers and instructors a unique way to interest students in mathematics and its applications. 

According to Mark Stansberry, illustrator and writer of the book, "Today's math books are often absent in a focus. When I teach students math, the first question students often ask is what it is good for? Although I could give a very general answer, such as personal financial management, I often provide an answer that is relevant to a specific career or personal interest, such as fashion design." 

Mark added that ":algebraic functions are often the basis for patterns used in fabric and dress design. Before I create a sketch, I sometimes review the graphs of math functions to decide on a pattern design. Parabolas, defined by the general equation y = x2, are used in many fashion designs and the basis for many different types of patterns." 

Algebra for Fashion Designers, besides being a fun way to learn math, is also a serious math book. The content of the book was designed to follow the guidelines of the  United States Algebra Common Core Standards  Besides over 30 fashion illustrations, the book also provides all the formulas, rules, procedures, example problems and solutions needed to become proficient in Algebra One.
