Preferred term

real-valued function  

Definition

  • In mathematics, a real-valued function is a function whose values are real numbers. In other words, it is a function that assigns a real number to each member of its domain. Real-valued functions of a real variable (commonly called real functions) and real-valued functions of several real variables are the main object of study of calculus and, more generally, real analysis. In particular, many function spaces consist of real-valued functions. (Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-valued_function)
