Map (mathematics)




In many branches of mathematics, the term denotes a function with a property specific to that branch, such as a '' Continuous Function '' in Topology , a '' Linear Transformation '' in Linear Algebra , etc.

Sets of maps with special properties are the subjects of many important theories: see for instance Lie Group , Mapping Class Group , Permutation Group .

In Formal Logic , the term is sometimes used for a '' Functional Predicate '', whereas a function is a Model of such a Predicate in Set Theory .
