Each node in the Library has one job, it takes one or more inputs, performs a very specific function or process with those inputs, and then it spits out an output on the other end. To show you what I mean, I'll start off in the Math Operators section of the Node Library, which has several nodes that are used for mathematical operations. You can see here we have nodes for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and a few other nodes that we'll take a look at in future videos.
