Parallel (operator)

The parallel operator (pronounced "parallel", following the parallel lines notation from geometry; also known as reduced sum, parallel sum or parallel addition) is a mathematical function which is used as a shorthand in electrical engineering, but is also used in kinetics, fluid mechanics and financial mathematics. The name parallel comes from the use of the operator computing the combined resistance of resistors in parallel.

This article is about a mathematical function modeling parallel resistors. For other uses, see Parallel (disambiguation).
