Senses
πράξη is used for these senses in English:
- action Something done, often so as to accomplish a purpose.
- action (mathematics) A way in which each element of some algebraic structure transforms some other structure or set, in a way which respects the structure of the first. Formally, this may be seen as a morphism from the first structure into some structure of endomorphisms of the second; for example, a group action of a group G on a set S can be seen as a group homomorphism from G into the set of bijections on S (which form a group under function composition), while a module M over a ring R can be defined as an abelian group together with a ring homomorphism from R into the ring of group endomorphisms of M (which is also called the action of R on M).
- operation (countable, medicine) A surgical procedure.
- operation (computing, logic, mathematics, countable) A procedure for generating a value from one or more other values (the operands).
- operation (military, countable) A military campaign (e.g. Operation Desert Storm).
- practice Actual operation or experiment, in contrast to theory.
- sum (often plural) An arithmetic computation, especially one posed to a student as an exercise (not necessarily limited to addition).
