the mathematical concept of a function dates from
the mathematical concept of a function dates from the 17th century in connection with the development of the calculus; for example, the slope d y / d x of a graph at a point was regarded as a function of the x-coordinate of the point. functions were not explicitly considered in antiquity, but some precursors of the con...
