(** - The pointwise operation of a binary operator: suppose $f:A\to B, g:A\to C, \circ:B\times C\to D$, then (pointwise $\circ$ f g) = $a\mapsto f(a)\circ g(a): A\to D$. This is used almost solely to define linear combinations: we have a sequence $\vec a$ of scalars and a sequence $\vec v$ of vectors, then (sum (pointwise (mX) a v)) = $\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} a_i v_i$.  %\label{pointwise}% *)
