Is there a known mathematical term for the set of integer coordinates inside an $n$-dimensional cube?

For example, for a $4$-dimensional cube of size length $10$ this set would be $\{(x,y,z,t)|0 \leq x,y,z,t \leq 10 \land x,y,z,t \in \mathbb{Z}\}$ I am interested in this structure but all online references I can find use terms like "$n$-cube" to…

Numerical Methods Texts, mid-level.

what are the 3-4 numerical analysis/methods texts, that you value as best? I would prefer a mid-level treatment, balanced between theory and applications. Right now, I'm using the book by Sauer. It is pretty good, but I wish to couple it with a…

Which area of mathematics studies such iterative systems

Suppose we have a family of functions $\{f_1,f_2,\cdots,f_n\}$, all are $ f_i:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$. For simplicity, write $f_i(x)$ as $f_i x$. So $f_if_jx=f_i(f_j(x))$. Let $i_j$ be a number in $\{1,2,\cdots n\}$, and $j$ is the index. Now…
