Definition (Function)
Let $A$ and $B$ be sets. A function $f$ from $A$ into $B$, written $f:A\to B$, is a relation between $A$ and $B$ (so $f\subseteq A\times B$) such that for every $x\in A$, there exists a unique $y\in B$ such that $(x,y)\in f$. When $f$ is a function from $A$ into $B$, we'll use the notation $y=f(x)$ or $f(x)=y$ rather than the more cumbersome notation $(x,y)\in f$ used for sets.
