Functional Programming in Scheme
Higher-order Functions
Mapping

The idea of mapping is to apply a function on each element of a list, hereby collecting the list of the function applications

A mapping function applies a function on each element of a list and returns the list of these applications

The function map is an essential Scheme function

Mapping a function m on a list. m is applied on every element, and the list of these applications is returned.
