Its denoted as: \begin{equation} f:X\to Y \end{equation} This is an assignment of X to Y, such that every element of $X$ is assigned to exactly one element $Y$. This is also written as $X\mapsto Y$, or $x\xrightarrow{f}y$. If $X\mapsto Y$ is a function, then $f(x)$, is called \say{f of x} or \say{the image of x under f}. X is the domain, Y is the \emph{codomain}. The range is $\{y\in Y | y=f(x)\ for\ some\ x\in X\}$. Note that \verb|range|$(f)\subseteq Y$, but it is not necessarily equal. For a function $f: X \mapsto Y$, given a $y\in Y$ there \emph{may} be a function such that $f(x)=y$. If there is such an $x$, it is called the \emph{preimage} or \emph{inverse image} of $y$. There may be multiple of these $x$s. The inverse image of y is $\{x\in X|f(x)=y\}$ A function is one-to-one or \emph{injective} if there is only one $x$ mapped to every $y$. Functions that are not injective collapse points together. To prove injectivity, either pick $x_1$ and $x_2$ and prove that $[f(x_1)=f(x_2)]\to (x_1=x_2)$, or pick two arbitrary elements $x_1\neq x_2$ and show that $f(x_1)\neq f(x_2)$ A function $f: X\mapsto Y$ is onto or \emph{surjective} if every $y$ is the image of some $x$. That is, the range is the same as the codomain. A function $f:X\mapsto Y$ is a bijection if $f$ is \emph{both} injective and surjective. This is also called one-to-one correspondence. $f^{-1}(x)=y \leftrightarrow f(y)=x$ If $f$ is a bijection, then $f^{-1}$ is a bijection. \end{document}
