Talk:Function symbol

Is "map" also used in the same sense as "mapping"? ta3ee

"In formal logic and related branches of mathematics, a functional predicate, or function symbol, is a logical symbol that may be applied to an object term to produce another object term."

Logical symbol? Object term? --Abdull (talk) 09:12, 17 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

And also: "In a model, a function symbol will be modelled by a function." ... So, a functional predicate is a generalization of functions in mathematics? What are other examples of applications of functional predicates in "other sciences" than mathematics? --Abdull (talk) 15:37, 8 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

"Function symbol" vs. "function symbol (logic)"

I noticed that one of these redirect pages points to functional predicate, but the other one leads to uninterpreted function. What is the reason for this inconsistency? Jarble (talk) 15:42, 9 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

These definitely need to be merged. Both pages describe roughly the same concept and use the phrase "Function symbol". I can't find any reliable sources that use "Functional predicate" or "Uninterpreted function" as the primary term, so I'll move the main page to "Function symbol".
I don't think any of this is controversial (these are low-priority articles, with a pretty clear need to merge), so I'll just perform the merge and if someone disagrees, we can discuss then. Farkle Griffen (talk) 21:23, 2 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
