.SH NAME
serif::discretization::forms::Operation \- The \fBOperation\fP struct defines a set of operations that can be applied to terms in the context of a form\&. These operations include value, gradient, divergence, curl, and normal trace\&. Similar to the statement I made at the top of \fBforms\&.hpp\fP, if you are a developer looking to extend the mathematical capabilities of SERiF this is a place you should be looking early on\&.

\fBNormalTrace\fP I find also to be somewhat confusing\&. Like many parts of the vocab at this level of SERiF this originates from finite element analysis (though I am sure they got it from somewhere else), this just means the normal fluxes along a boundary\&.

.PP
If you extend this struct you should also extend \fBIsOperation\fP (just below it in the file)
