Same with equations. At 1st, I was puzzled by what f(x) was. I understood
that it was just saying that the equation was a function of the variable x,
but the instructor could have easily said that f(x) is the same as saying y, so
don't let the different naming convention confuse you. But that would have
been too easy,lol.
