Overview of functions
In this lesson on the overview of functions, we learn that functions are a relationship or a relation between two sets. We also learn about input and output variables, domain and range, and implied domain. The importance of a unique relationship between input and output variables in a function is stressed, and we see how to identify whether or not a relationship is a function. Ultimately, we explore the significance of giving a function a name with the most common one being f, and how to evaluate a function at a numeric value.
What are functions -- function overview
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.

Staff Review
This video is an overview of functions. The instructor explains what is means for the domain (input values) and range (output values) to have a relationship that is a function. He also explains how to write function notation and how to evaluate a function at a specific value.
