1. Definition
A function maps each domain element uniquely; injective gives distinct y, surjective covers the codomain, bijective is both.
2. Formula & Notation
| Injective, surjective | Distinct, covering |
3. Properties & Laws
- Unique image;
- Injective;
- Surjective;
- Bijective is invertible.

5. Worked Examples
Example: 1,2,3→2,4,6, codomain has 8: function, injective, not surjective.
6. Common Pitfalls
X and Y counts match;
Injection via y;
Surjection via codomain.
