Abstract: This paper analyzes the similarities and differences of mapping and function definition in tool books. Based on different definitions, we think the main reason is due to the concept formation inconsistent with the development of the mathematical function concept. We also discuss the relationship among mapping, function, operator and functional, and their idioms in each branch of mathematics.

Key words: mapping, function, operator, functional
