NOT A REAL QUESTIONMathematical uses of the preposition "of"

NOT A REAL!!!!!!!!! QUESTION

Dear Professors,

I am looking for any articles on the uses of the preposition "of" in mathematics. I once read in a teacher's edition of a pre-algebra textbook that suggested students should be taught, as early as possible, the many uses of the preposition "of" in mathematics, but I have been unable to find anything on this particular question/topic. Could anyone please try to help me find something? Or better still could anyone give me an outline of these uses?

Yours respectfully, Rob
