Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Premultiplication

👉 In mathematics and computer science, the term "premultiplication" refers to the process of performing a multiplication operation before applying it to another variable. In other words, if you have two variables \(x\) and \(y\) in an equation, and you want to perform the operation \(xy\), you would first multiply \(x\) by \(y\), then apply the result to \(y\) (which is \(y \cdot y = y^2\)), before applying the multiplication operation
