Kernel (set Theory)
In set theory, the kernel of a function f may be taken to be either
- the equivalence relation on the function's domain that roughly expresses the idea of "equivalent as far as the function f can tell", or
- the corresponding partition of the domain.

Famous quotes containing the word kernel:
“All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity that the dry, shrivelled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut.”
—Anne Brontë (1820–1849)
