Here are some examples of maps of sets: 1. S = T = N, f : N → N a $→ a2 2. S = Z×Z, T = Z, f : Z×Z → Z (a,b) $→ a+b This very simple looking abstract concept hides enormous depth. To illustrate this, observe that calculus is just the study of certain classes of functions (continuous, differentiable or integrable) from R to R ...
