    In mathematics, a composite function represents the application of one function to the results of another. For instance, the functions f: X → Y and g: Y → Z can be composed by first computing f(x) and then applying a function g to the output of f(x). Thus one obtains a function g ∘ f: X → Z defined by (g ∘ f)(x) = g(f(x)) for all x in X. The notation g ∘ f is read as "g circle f", or "g composed with f", "g after f", "g following f", or just "g of f". The composition of functions is always associative. That is, if f, g, and h are three functions with suitably chosen domains and codomains, then f ∘ (g ∘ h) = (f ∘ g) ∘ h. Since there is no distinction between the choices of placement of parentheses, they may be safely left off. The functions g and f are said to commute with each other if g ∘ f = f ∘ g. In general, composition of functions will not be commutative. Commutativity is a special property, attained only by particular functions, and often in special circumstances. For example, only when . But a function always commutes with its inverse to produce the identity mapping. Considering functions as special cases of relations (namely functional relations), one can analogously define composition of relations, which gives the formula for in terms of and . Derivatives of compositions involving differentiable functions can be found using the chain rule. Higher derivatives of such functions are given by Faà di Bruno's formula.
