I describe how mathematical functions can be visualized by:
(1) elements and arrows
(2) Wiring diagrams
(3) fibres
(4) bouquets
(5) graphs
(6) ontology logs
(7) categories

These ideas have applications throughout mathematics and beyond. Notable applications include set theory, cooking, planning, functional programming, dependent type theory, linguistics and category theory.
