New description:

 '''Chris:'''


 I cannot follow the description of <map/>.  It seems to be something to
 do with mapping functions over collections.  Is this a K-12 thing?

 Also, this is not what the word 'map' or 'mapping' normally means in
 K-12 maths.

 Still Chris:

 The description of 'suchthat' gives only the software view. Also,it does
 not allow for the possibility that the object described (but probably not
 constructed) is not a set.

 'The set entries are given explicitly.' Does the use of a function that is
 not effectively computable count as 'explicit'?

 The general level of the descriptions in this section suggests that it
 would be appropriate to point out that for the formulation of mathematics
 being assumed here, some of these ideas are 'primitives'. My favourite
 foundation uses only one undefined symbol: <in/>.

 It is a discrete Math thing that is also often used in CS.
