The term ''product'' is typically used for the result obtained on performing a ''multiplication''. Here, the multiplication is a binary operation on a set or structure. The multiplication is usually taken to be associative (so that parenthesization does not matter for the product) and often taken to be commutative (so that the order of terms doesn't matter). | |||
