1. Relations and Mappings

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Relations as mappings between two sets: In mathematics, relations are defined as connections between elements of two sets, where each element in the first set (domain) is related to one or more elements in the second set (codomain). These are often described as mappings, illustrating how elements from one set correspond to elements in another (source: Ms. Rukhsana Jabeen, 2026).

  • Rule connecting pairs of elements in relations: A relation is characterized by a specific rule that establishes a connection between pairs of elements from the two sets. This rule must hold true for all pairs in the relation, defining the nature of the connection (source: Ms. Rukhsana Jabeen, 2026).

  • Directional property of relations from one set to another: Relations possess a directional property, meaning the connection from an element in the first set (input or domain) to an element in the second set (output or codomain) is always oriented from the first to the second. This directionality is fundamental to the concept of relations as mappings (source: Ms. Rukhsana Jabeen, 2026).
