Abstract
A mapping is a correspondence between two sets of related values, such as distances measured in miles and kilometres, or temperatures measured on the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. In a one-to-one mapping, each value in one set maps to exactly one value in the other set; every linear equation of the form y = mx + c connecting two variables x and y represents a one-to-one mapping from x to y, x → y.
