Map (mathematics)

A map is a function, as in the association of any of the four colored shapes in X to its color in Y

In mathematics, a map or mapping is synonymous to a function, though various branches add further nuances to differentiate them. The terms may have originated as from the process of making a geographical map: mapping the Earth surface to a sheet of paper.
