Scientific paper

Mass functions of stars, belonging to clusters, galactic field, and the solar neighborhood are discussed. Their classification into four groups is proposed: those approximated by the exponential function, those approximated by the log-normal law, modified ones, and those in which the time dependence is taken into account. It is shown that no analytical function which would describe the IMF regions of the Galaxy adequately has been obtained by now. It seems likely that the mass function of stars depends on time and the age of clusters.
