Don, try

   (+/ *:) 0 1 2 3 4

and look up II. F. Trains in the Dictionary (in J press F1 then click on Dic).



For composition you can use  [: +/ *:  as in

   ([: +/ *:) 3 4
25

where [: is a true innovation, an "identity element" that reduces reduces a 
"tree"

  f
 / \
[:  g

to

  f
   \
    g

1) Use %: for square root.
2) Use *:  for square.
    and so on.

   +/ *: 2 6 8 9

   but have to write:

   sumsq =: +/ @: *:

    Why is that @: necessary?
