Domain and codomain are not always explicitly given when a Mathematical function is defined, and, without some computation, one might only know that the domain is contained in a larger set.

However, a "Mathematical function from the reals to the reals" does not mean that the domain of the Mathematical function is the whole set of the real numbers, but only that the domain is a set of real numbers that contains a non-empty open interval.

For example, if is a Mathematical function that has the real numbers as domain and codomain, then a Mathematical function mapping the value to the value =.

Range or image of a Mathematical function is the set of the images of all elements in the domain.

The Mathematical function which takes a real number as input and outputs that number plus 1 is denoted by.

For example, is the Mathematical function which takes a real number as input and outputs that number plus 1.

Such a Mathematical function is called a sequence, and, in this case the element is called the th element of sequence.

Sometimes, a theorem or an axiom asserts the existence of a Mathematical function having some properties, without describing it more precisely.

The cosine Mathematical function induces, by restriction, a bijection from the interval onto the interval, and its inverse Mathematical function, called arccosine, maps onto.

The relation defines as an implicit Mathematical function of, called the Bring radical, which has as domain and range.

Implicit Mathematical function theorem provides mild differentiability conditions for existence and uniqueness of an implicit Mathematical function in the neighborhood of a point.

However, as the coefficients of a series are quite arbitrary, a Mathematical function that is the sum of a convergent series is generally defined otherwise, and the sequence of the coefficients is the result of some computation based on another definition.

Factorial Mathematical function on the nonnegative integers is a basic example, as it can be defined by the recurrence relation.

Idea of Mathematical function, starting in the 17th century, was fundamental to the new infinitesimal calculus.

In introductory calculus, when the word Mathematical function is used without qualification, it means a real-valued Mathematical function of a single real variable.

The more general definition of a Mathematical function is usually introduced to second or third year college students with STEM majors, and in their senior year they are introduced to calculus in a larger, more rigorous setting in courses such as real analysis and complex analysis.

The simplest rational Mathematical function is the Mathematical function whose graph is a hyperbola, and whose domain is the whole real line except for 0.

Derivative of a real differentiable Mathematical function is a real Mathematical function.

The Mathematical function is continuous, and even differentiable, on the positive real numbers.

The Mathematical function that associates to each point of a fluid its velocity vector is a vector-valued Mathematical function.

In mathematical analysis, and more specifically in functional analysis, a function space is a set of scalar-valued or vector-valued functions, which share a specific property and form a topological vector space.

Definition of a Mathematical function that is given in this article requires the concept of set, since the domain and the codomain of a Mathematical function must be a set.
