Category theory and mapping
I have to admit I'm not really sure here. I've see the term "mapping" used that way in some Category theory articles, but that's about it. So if anyone feels he or she has a better overview of the usage of the word, please be bold ... -- JanHidders
The article on categories uses the word "map" rather than "mapping", by the way. "Map" is synonymous with "1-1 function" in Patrick Suppes: Introduction to Axiomatic Set Theory (1960). The Swedish National Encyclopedia (written from scratch and published 1989 - 1996) says that (the Swedish equivalents of) the three words "mapping", "function" and "transformation" are synonymous. -OJarnef
Misplaced dicussion
Moved from the article, where it was inserted by anon user User:130.216.191.183[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=130.216.191.183):
- In Mapping between a source domain and target domain many simple mappings are not possible like width*height=area where maping from area to width and height is not possible. Now what are the conditions for a possibility of mapping?
