Abstract
A survey is given of the ubiquitous rôle played by residuated mappings in the theory of ordered sets, lattices, and ordered semigroups. This is intended mainly for the young researcher interested in the general area of ordered sets. Some open questions that arise out of the presentation are listed in the final section.
