👉 "Forcing" is a concept in mathematics, specifically in algebra and analysis, used to describe an operation that changes the value of a function without altering its graph. This operation can be thought of as applying a linear transformation to a function, which means it involves moving or stretching the function's shape along one axis while keeping the rest unchanged.
For instance, consider the function f(x) = x^2 - 1 for all real numbers x. The function f(x) is defined by its
