... be the sequences (an | n ∈ S) and (bn | n ∈ S). Since φp is a ring homomorphism, Lemma 1 shows immediately that the sequences w(a) + w(b), w(a) · w(b), and −w(a) are in the image of the ghost map. It follows that there are sequences of polynomials s = (sn | n ∈ S), p = (pn | n ∈ S), and ι = (ιn | n ...

... and out comes the output. You are already familiar with many operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are all operations. These four operations each take two numbers as input, and give one number as output. They are called binary operations. ...
