What is the name of the sinus function? Mathematical symbolism offers two obvious alternatives: sin(x), including the (independent) variable x, or sin, where no x occurs. It will be argued here that a good mathematical symbolism should give room for both alternatives and, moreover, that each alternative corresponds to a distinct notion of function.
