Mapping and functions.....


Why do were define one-one and many-one mappings as functions? Why do we separate them into a different group and make them special?

Thanks in advance.

1-1 functions allow us to compare sets. Also, 1-1 functions are invertible on the image of their domain. Invertibility is a "nice" feature in many areas of study.
