Mapping

Mapping is a process that establishes a relationship between elements of one set, often referred to as the domain, to elements of another set, known as the range. Mapping is used in various fields such as mathematics, computer science, and geography.

Mathematics

In mathematics, a mapping, also known as a function, is a rule that assigns each element from one set (the domain) to one element in another set (the range). The concept of a mapping is fundamental in many areas of mathematics such as calculus, algebra, and topology.

Computer Science

In computer science, mapping is often used in data structures such as arrays and hash tables. It is also a key concept in programming languages and database management systems.

Geography

In geography, mapping refers to the creation of maps, which are graphical representations of a space or area. This involves various techniques and technologies, including cartography, geographic information systems (GIS), and remote sensing.
