On the representation of composition of functions: how to pronounce $g\circ f$ when speaking?

50 Views Asked by At

Let $f:X \rightarrow Y$ and $g:Y\rightarrow Z$

Then one defines composition of functions as follows, $$g(f(s)):X\rightarrow Z $$ For all $s\in X$. I also saw the following notation being used, $$g \circ f:X\rightarrow Z$$ Now I was wondering how to say $g\circ f$ while speaking?

Can it be pronounced "$g$ circle $f$" or should it be pronounced as "$g$ compose $f$"?

I also think there are couple of mistakes in my understanding then i request to let me know.
