The term mapping is often used synonymously with function, but also sometimes to indicate something more general, namely, a means of associating every object in a certain collection with a unique object in another collection, where these collections are not necessarily sets as defined in set theory.

In topology it is common to use mapping to mean "continuous? function", in order to avoid overuse of the word "continuous".
