How do people think about merging this article with Function and then redirecting there? This article's definition isn't even very mathematical. --AxelBoldt

I think they should be merged. The author of Mathematical Function probably felt that function is still too formal, and that is probably true. So perhaps we should merge this article with the part of Function that gives some examples. But maybe other people would like to start the article with an informal introduction, and only after that introduce the formal definition. So perhaps the following would be best:

1. (initial abstract description) A function is a means of associating with every element in a certain set an unique element in another set.
2. (informal discussion) some examples, use in mathematics, et cetera (this would contain the stuff from Mathematical Function
3. (formal definition) the formal definition in set theory that function now starts with
4. (terminology) one-to-one, injective, et cetera
5. (see also:)
