Understanding Functions and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains function mapping from a set of four elements to a set of ten elements, calculating the total number of functions using the multiplicative principle. It then explores strictly increasing functions, using combinatorial methods to determine the number of such functions. The tutorial also covers non-decreasing functions, employing the stars and bars method to calculate their number. The video concludes with a summary of the concepts discussed.
