Woon used linear operators he doesnt talk about functions.
Jabotinsky (and also Comtet I guess) derived a similar (finite) formula for power series with \( f_0=0 \), \( f_1=1 \).
Quote:The whole concept is then much more easier to read (and write) if we introduce an "umbral"-like notation, adapted to iteration-series.
Yes, its kinda umbral because generally \( (f+\text{id})^{\circ n}\neq \sum_{m=0}^n \left(n\\m\right) f^{\circ n} \).
