Functions and transformations

Mappings
Mappings looks at the relationship between two sets of numbers.
Domain it is the input set
Range it is the output set
A function is defined as a mapping where every element of the domain(x values) is mapped on to
exactly one element of the range(y values)
One to one function if every one element of the domain is mapped to exactly one element of the
range and also if one element of the range is mapped to exactly one element of the domain.
If every element in the domain is mapped onto exactly one element in the range and
some elements in the range arise from one element in the domain the function is said to be a many
to one function.
Then we have a one to many which is not a function from the defination of a function

Composite functions
When two or more functions are joined they form composite functions

The composite gf(x) means apply f first followed by g
