The Y, spelled out as wye, can also be called T or star ; the Δ, spelled out as delta, can also be called triangle, Π ( spelled out as pi ), or mesh.

Conversely, British English favours fitted as the past tense of fit generally, whereas the preference of American English is more complex: AmEng prefers fitted for the metaphorical sense of having made an object " fit " ( i. e., suited ) for a purpose ; in spatial transitive contexts, AmEng uses fitted for the sense of having made an object conform to an unchanged object that it surrounds ( e. g., " fitted X around Y ") but fit for the sense of having made an object conform to an unchanged object that surrounds it ( e. g., " fit X into Y "); and for the spatial senses ( both intransitive and transitive ) of having been matching with respect to contour, with no alteration of either object implied, AmEng prefers fit (" The clothes fit.

A binary relation R is usually defined as an ordered triple ( X, Y, G ) where X and Y are arbitrary sets ( or classes ), and G is a subset of the Cartesian product X × Y.

The sets X and Y are called the domain ( or the set of departure ) and codomain ( or the set of destination ), respectively, of the relation, and G is called its graph.

A relation as defined by the triple ( X, Y, G ) is sometimes referred to as a correspondence instead.

In this case the relation from X to Y is the subset G of X × Y, and " from X to Y " must always be either specified or implied by the context when referring to the relation.

Given any element x of X, there is a function f < sup > x </ sup >, or f ( x ,·), from Y to Z, given by f < sup > x </ sup >( y ) := f ( x, y ).

Similarly, given any element y of Y, there is a function f < sub > y </ sub >, or f (·, y ), from X to Z, given by f < sub > y </ sub >( x ) := f ( x, y ).

( In computer science, this identification between a function from X × Y to Z and a function from X to Z < sup > Y </ sup > is called Currying.
