In [[mathematics]], juxtaposition of symbols is commonly used for [[multiplication]]: ''ax'' denotes the product of ''a'' with ''x'', or ''a'' times ''x''. It is also used for [[scalar multiplication]], [[matrix multiplication]], and [[function composition]]. In [[numeral system]]s, juxtaposition of digits has a specific meaning.
