In[1]:= Map[Function[x, x^2], a + b + c]
Out[1]= a^2 + b^2 + c^2
In[2]:= Function[x, x^2] /@ a + b + c
Out[2]= a + b + c
I expect Out[1] and Out[2] to be the same....which is not
In[3]:= Map[Function[x, x^2], {a + b + c}]
Out[3]= {(a + b + c)^2}
In[4]:= Function[x, x^2] /@ {a + b + c}
Out[4]= {(a + b + c)^2}
Now Out[3] and Out[4] are the same, as expected.
What's the difference between the two cases? Thank you very much for a kind reply
