 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Function (mathematics) (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-2.cs.princeton.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In mathematics, a function is a relation, such that each element of a set (the domain) is associated with a unique element of another (possibly the same) set (the codomain, not to be confused with the range).
As a mathematical term, "function" was coined by Leibniz in 1694, to describe a quantity related to a curve, such as a curve's slope or a specific point of a curve.
The notion of function as a rule for computing, rather than a special kind of relation, has been formalized in mathematical logic and theoretical computer science by means of several systems, including the lambda calculus, the theory of recursive functions and the Turing machine.

 He was born in 1925, a Jew from Brooklyn:  Stuyvesant High School and a BA in mathematics from CCNY in 1944, Army Signal Corps until 1946, upon discharge staying in Alaska, where he had served as a meteorologist in the Army, to teach math and science in the schools of Nome until 1948.
The purpose of the document was not to make efficient mathematical sense, but to make it unmistakably clear to high school teachers across the state, teachers familiar with the kind of textbook available at the time, which sections of these books it would be safe to omit and which it was necessary to include.
Almost nobody associated with school mathematics in 1950 was a mathematician, and the textbooks showed it.

Nome was a gold rush town from 1899 to 1903; it attracted some 20,000 prospectors, but many died or left because of the hardships.
The Nome King was in an angry mood, and at such times he was very disagreeable.
This cru-el king had a love-ly wife and ten beau-ti-ful chil-dren--five boys and five girls--but in a fit of an-ger he sold them all to the Nome King, who by means of his mag-ic arts changed them all in-to oth-er forms and put them in his un-der-ground pal-ace to or-na-ment the rooms.

In mathematics, specifically the theory of elliptic functions, the nome is a special function and is given by
The nome is frequently used as a value with which elliptic functions and modular forms can be described; on the other hand, it can also be thought of as function, because the quarter periods are functions of the elliptic modulus.
This ambiguity occurs because for real values of the elliptic modulus, the quarter periods and thus the nome are uniquely determined.

Perhaps because of the older mathematical meaning of the English word field, Moore seems to have been very careful in systematically referring to a field of order s and not the shorter term field.
On what grounds the conviction of the unassailable exactness of mathematical laws is based has for centuries been an object of philosophical research, and two points of view may here be distinguished, intuitionism (largely French) and formalism (largely German).
The question where mathematical exactness does exist, is answered differently by the two sides; the intuitionist says: in the human intellect, the formalist says: on paper.
