+## Intent
+
+Monad pattern based on monad from linear algebra represents the way of chaining operations
+together step by step. Binding functions can be described as passing one's output to another's input
+basing on the 'same type' contract.

+## Applicability
+
+Use the Monad in any of the following situations
+
+* when you want to chain operations easily
+* when you want to apply each function regardless of the result of any of them
