In an expression, putting two things immediately next to each other usually means that they should be combined in some way. It's usually implicit that the combination operation should be clear from the context.

  • Multiplication: \(ab = a \times b\).
  • Function composition: \(fg(x) = f \circ g(x) = f(g(x))\).
  • Group operation: when \(x,y \in G = (X,\star\)\), \(xy = x \star y\).
  • Function application: \(\sin x\).
  • A linear transformation: \(\mathrm{A}\mathbf{v}\). (I've never seen \(\mathrm{A} \times \mathbf{v}\) or \(\mathrm{A} \cdot \mathbf{v}\) for matrix-vector product)
