Hi Barry,

This may help with function:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming

States the origin is from LISP one of the first functional programing languages which borrowed it from mathematics.

Although Fortran had the concept of functions and it's older than LISP. [Although I think they were called routines and subroutines? but not 100% sure]
