Introduction to Functions - Part 1
IPOD VIDEO: A function is a rule which operates on one number to give another number. However, not every rule describes a valid function. This unit explains how to see whether a given rule describes a valid function, and introduces some of the mathematical terms associated with functions.

The graph of a function
This leaflet reminds students of important conventions associated with graph plotting.
It explains the terms dependent variable and independent variable.(Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 3.2)
The graph of a function
A very useful pictorial representation of a function is the graph. In this leaflet, we remind you of important conventions when plotting a graph.
What is a function?
A quantity whose value can change is known as a variable. Functions are used to describe the rules which define the ways in which such a change can occur. The purpose of this leaflet is to explain functions and their notation.
What is a function?
This introductory leaflet explains what is meant by a function, gives functional notation, and some simple examples. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 3.1)
x-y plots
This leaflet explains about how points are plotted on a simple graph. It explains words such as origin, coordinates, axes.
