Editor: Dr. James Meiss, Applied Mathematics University of ColoradoA mapping is a discrete time, deterministic dynamical system. Mappings arise, for example, from Poincaré sections of flows of differential equations, from dynamics with impacts or impulsive forces, from naturally discrete time systems such as population dynamics with generations or coin flips, as well from the mathematics of self-transformations of a manifold.
