Gilles commented on MATH-643:
-----------------------------
> ad d to all elemnets of this
This is correct.
> aka. add d element-by-element
Sorry, I think that this does not mean anything.
> map is misleading
This name is used in many languages. It means "apply <the operation> to each
element".
> use ebe
As noted already, this is not the same: It means "apply <the operation> to each
pair of elements".
> drop the prefix entirely.
This is incorrect in some cases. What would mean adding a number to an array?
> Rename RealVector.map* to RealVector.ebe* (mapAdd(...) to ebeAdd(...) and
> mapAddToSelf(...) to ebeAddToSelf(...) for instance

> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: Arne Plöse
> Priority: Minor
>
> I think the map* methods have historical names. Today I would prefer ebe as
> prefix like ebeMultiply(...).
> This would describe the methods better from a users view.
> If this is a valid issue, I could provide a patch.
