Here $(24)(13)$ refers to the permutation
begin{align}
begin{pmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 & 4\
3 & 4 & 1 & 2
end{pmatrix},
end{align}
in two-line notation,
whereas $(24)$ and $(13)$ are the permutations
begin{align}
begin{pmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 & 4\
1 & 4 & 3 & 2
end{pmatrix}

text{ and }
begin{pmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 & 4\
3 & 2 & 1 & 4
end{pmatrix}
end{align}
respectively. When we compose $(24)$ with $(13)$ to get $(24)circ (13)$ we mean
begin{align}
begin{pmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 & 4\
3 & 2 & 1 & 4\
3 & 4 & 1 & 2
end{pmatrix} text{which simplifies to }
begin{pmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 & 4\
3 & 4 & 1 & 2
end{pmatrix}.
end{align}
Hence the composition has the same two-line expression as $(24)(13)$ so $(24)circ(13) = (24)(13)$.

    The first one is the result of $(2, 4)$ on the left side and $(1, 3)$ on the right side of the binary operation $circ$, commonly understood to mean the composition of the two permutations as functions (unless stated otherwise); the second is the concatenation of $(2, 4)$ and $(1, 3)$ and is commonly understood to mean the same thing (when the context is clear).

      $(2,,4)(1,,3)$ is a misuse of the multiplication record instead of composing. We have the same example in matrix multiplication. In fact, it is not about multiplication of matrices, but about composing a matrix. So $A B$ is actualy a matrix composition, not a matrix multiplication.

        Adding to this, most of semigroup theory is done using concatenation as the binary operation. It'd be unsightly and impractical otherwise.

                        Calling every use of concatenation (i.e. “multiplication notation”) for anything other than multiplication a misuse is probably not helpful. The notation is too useful and there are many things similar enough to multiplication that restricting yourself to multiplication of numbers is simply infeasible. It’s better to get used to it because others will stop using it.

                        Adding to this, most of semigroup theory is done using concatenation as the binary operation. It'd be unsightly and impractical otherwise.

Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C.

El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo
