Does the process of mapping a random range, for example, [4; 55] to [0; 1] have a name? Maybe it's called normalization?

Yes, I would call it "normalization". You could also call it "scaling" or "rescaling".

0@Tom: Certainly it could be considered a transformation, but that's a lot more general than "normalization". "Transformation" is basically a synonym for "mapping", which occurred in the question, but the question was about a specific kind of mapping. – 2012-02-05
