Bijection
is always a great word to know.
So is binary. Does it mean:
| one of several highly systematic methods of treating problems by a special system of algebraic notations, such as differential or integral calculus |
| a system of numerical notation to the base 2, in which each place of a number, expressed as 0 or 1, corresponds to a power of 2 |

bijection  (bī-jěk'shən) Pronunciation Key
Mathematics A function that is both an injection and a surjection. In a bijection, each member of the range corresponds to an element of the domain that is mapped onto it, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the members of the domain and the range. All linear functions, such as y = x + 3, are bijections. Compare injection, surjection. |

bijection definition
mathematicsA function is bijective or a bijection or a one-to-one correspondence if it is both injective (no two values map to the same value) and surjective (for every element of the codomain there is some element of the domain which maps to it). I.e. there is exactly one element of the domain which maps to each element of the codomain.
For a general bijection f from the set A to the set B:
f'(f(a)) = a where a is in A and f(f'(b)) = b where b is in B.
A and B could be disjoint sets.
See also injection, surjection, isomorphism, permutation.
