Solution

The mathematical concept of a function (and the name) first arose in the 17th century in connection with the development of the calculus. As a mathematical term, "function" was used by Gottfried Leibniz in a letter in 1673 to describe a quantity, related to a curve, such as a curve's slope at a specific point.
