<P><em>Note:
Multiplication is associative, e.g., 2  &times; (3  &times; 4) =  (2  &times; 3)  &times; 4, and commutative, e.g., 2  &times; 3 = 3  &times; 2. Subtraction is neither associative, e.g., 2 - (3 - 4)  <img src="neq.gif" tppabs="http://hissa.nist.gov/dads/HTML/Images/neq.gif" border=0 height=10 width=10 alt="not equal to"> (2 - 3) - 4, nor commutative, e.g., 2 - 3  <img src="neq.gif" tppabs="http://hissa.nist.gov/dads/HTML/Images/neq.gif" border=0 height=10 width=10 alt="not equal to"> 3 - 2.  Because of rounding floating point addition on a computer is not associative, e.g., (1000000 + .00001) + .00001  <img src="neq.gif" tppabs="http://hissa.nist.gov/dads/HTML/Images/neq.gif" border=0 height=10 width=10 alt="not equal to"> 1000000 + (.00001 + .00001) (actual values depend on the details of the computer addition), but is commutative, e.g., 1000000 + .00001 = .00001 + 1000000.  <br> Cartesian product is associative, e.g., {1, 2}  &times; ({a, b}  &times; {X, Y}) = ({1, 2}  &times; {a, b})  &times; {X, Y}, but is not commutative, e.g., {1, 2}  &times; {a, b}  <img src="neq.gif" tppabs="http://hissa.nist.gov/dads/HTML/Images/neq.gif" border=0 height=10 width=10 alt="not equal to"> {a, b}  &times; {1, 2}.</em>
