map
1. <mathematics> function.
2. In functional programming, the most common higher-order function over lists. Map applies its first argument to each element of its second argument (a list) and returns the list of results.
map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] map f [] = [] map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs
This can be generalised to types other than lists.

mapping
defined: The process of deducing schematic representations of DNA. Three types of DNA maps can be constructed: physical maps, genetic maps, and cytogenetic maps, with the key distinguishing feature among these three types being the landmarks on which they are based.

Dr. Eric Green, of the National Human Genome Research Institute's Genome Technology Branch, defines mapping.
