An operator (not to be confused with operation) is a mapping from one vector space or module to another. Operators are of critical importance to both linear algebra and functional analysis. Important properties that various operators may exhibit include linearity, continuity, and boundedness.

Important special cases of an operator include:

  • Functional, which maps a vector space to its underlying field. The space of functionals over a vector space exhibits duality to it, which has numerous applications. Important applications of functionals are the theories of generalized functions, which extends the classical notion of a function and derivative, and calculus of variations, which generalizes the notion of differential to functionals as they are. Both are of great importance to theoretical physics.
  • Linear operator, which has a number of characteristics that ease its study. Important examples of linear operators are integral and derivative. In finite-dimensional spaces linear operators are often represented by matrices.

How do you become a camera operator for tv and film?
Q. I've tried researching a lot of places on the internet and the only place I've found that teaches TV/Film camera operators are in England. Does anyone know where in the US that they may have a school for camera operator? The kind of work I'm talking about is a camera man for a TV show or Film. Is this something you have to go to film school for or is there a place that just teaches how to be a camera operator? Thanks for your answers!!!

A. Yea, but you won't get the job at a real studio because it's union and you have to work your way up. There are apprentice programs (no pay) which can lead to a job as Loader (load and unload the camera, maybe do the clack board) or 4th Cameraman. Generally you have to work 1 or 2 years before you can be promoted to focus puller (3rd cameraman) and then 1 or 2 more years before you get promoted to operator (2nd cameraman) and then a producer or director has to elevate you to Director of Photography (1st cameraman) It's probably about $500 to $1,000 to get your first union card (IATSE 4th cameraman) and that gets you maybe $12 to $15 an hour. Another way to get training for FREE and get started is Cable Access. They will teach you and… [cont.]

Q. I was reading thise army reserve page about civilians that could have jobs with audio, and video equipment and that kinds of stuff, but it didn't get much into detail. What kinds of jobs could a civilian camera operator have in the military?

A. If he/she joined the military then he/she would have a job to take pics or put together a magazine or book. Or even write a report for the post commander. Also they might talk to the civilian press. The military hates the civilian press because they lie and stretch the truth.

How does one become a pest control operator, or "exterminator"?
Q. I live in Florida. Is it as simple as getting a job with an experienced operator and learning the trade, or do I need to get licensed? How do I go about doing this?

A. you can do it 2 ways. in both cases, you will need to get a licence to do it. every state requres a licence, and every state has a different requrement for it. im located in CA , and there are different licences for everything.much like drivers licences. i've been told for example, in oregon,there is only one class licence. generaly the pest board ,which will issue any guidelines to the pest companies, is governed by the agricultural department. do a simple web search, on either one, and you will get a lot more curent info. a web site which is almost a "must read" is : pest-web.com. 1st way is to get licenced yourself,and then look for a job, as a lot of companies will hire only licenced folks. those tend to be the smaller companies… [cont.]
