Blaschke product

Imagine you have a lot of marbles of different colors. Now, imagine you want to make a chain with them, so you start putting them together one after the other. However, you don't just put them in any random order. Instead, you choose a specific rule for the order, like putting all the reds first, then the blues, then the greens, and so on.

Now, imagine that instead of marbles, you have numbers. And instead of a chain, you want to make a function (which is like a machine that takes in numbers and gives out different ones). And instead of a rule for the order of the marbles, you choose a special rule for the order of the numbers that will make up your function.

That special rule is called a Blaschke product. It involves choosing some special numbers and arranging them in a specific way, then multiplying them all together with a few other factors. The result is a special kind of function that has some interesting properties, like being very smooth and having zeros (places where it gives out the number 0) in very specific places.

So, the Blaschke product is like a special rule you can use to make a special kind of function out of some special numbers. It's kind of like making a special chain out of some special marbles.
