Abstract
We provide an introduction to the field of functional representation a nd reasoning from an engineering point of view. Our main goals are to: (i) present and clarify the notion of function with the aim of unifyi ng diverse perspectives, (ii) identify the various current approaches to represent function, and (iii) highlight the potential of functional reasoning for engineering applications.
