Functional programming — In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data. It emphasizes the application of functions, in contrast with the… … Wikipedia
Functional (mathematics) — In mathematics, a functional is traditionally a map from a vector space to the field underlying the vector space, which is usually the real numbers. In other words, it is a function that takes a vector as its argument or input and returns a… … Wikipedia
Map (higher-order function) — In many programming languages, map is the name of a higher order function that applies a given function to each element of a list, returning a list of results. They are examples of both catamorphisms and anamorphisms. This is often called apply… … Wikipedia
Functional specialization (brain) — This article is about specialization of function among regions of the brain generally. For the particular topic of left right brain specialization, see Lateralization of brain function. Functional specialization suggests that different areas in… … Wikipedia
Map Overlay and Statistical System — The Map Overlay and Statistical System (MOSS), is a GIS software technology. Development of MOSS began in late 1977 and was first deployed for use in 1979. MOSS represents a very early public domain, open source GIS development predating the… … Wikipedia

Map (mathematics) — For other uses, see Map (disambiguation). In most of mathematics and in some related technical fields, the term mapping, usually shortened to map, is either a synonym for function, or denotes a particular kind of function which is important in… … Wikipedia
Holomorphic functional calculus — In mathematics, holomorphic functional calculus is functional calculus with holomorphic functions. That is to say, given a holomorphic function fnof; of a complex argument z and an operator T , the aim is to construct an operator:f(T),which in a… … Wikipedia
Discontinuous linear map — In mathematics, linear maps form an important class of simple functions which preserve the algebraic structure of linear spaces and are often used as approximations to more general functions (see linear approximation). If the spaces involved are… … Wikipedia
Harmonic map — A (smooth) map φ: M → N between Riemannian manifolds M and N is called harmonic if it is a critical point of the energy functional E (φ).This functional E will be defined precisely below mdash;one way of understanding it is to imagine that M is… … Wikipedia
