The term function was coined by mathematician Gottfried Leibniz in 1673 although Oresme came close to a modern formulation of the concept of a function in the 1300s.
The notation “” was introduced my Clairaut and Euler in 1734.
Many famous mathematicians have devoted time to the study of functions including Bernoulli, Fourier and Weierstraß.

Intro
You should now be able to:
Find the range and domain of a mapping.
Categorise mappings (one-to-one, etc.)
Do simple computations with functions.
When you feel comfortable move on to composition of functions.
