About Operads:
Operads are abstract algebraic structures which encode multilinear structure. They arose in algebraic topology in order to address problems of homotopy coherence, but since the nineties they have found applications throughout mathematics. This includes in deformation theory, mathematical physics, algebra, and combinatorics.
