Zero Set

In mathematics, the zero set of a real-valued function f : X → R (or more generally, a function taking values in some additive group) is the subset of X (the inverse image of {0}). In other words, the zero set of the function f is the subset of X on which . The cozero set of f is the complement of the zero set of f (i.e. the subset of X on which f is nonzero).

Zero sets are important in several branches of geometry and topology.

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    “If, while watching the sun set on a used-car lot in Los Angeles, you are struck by the parallels between this image and the inevitable fate of humanity, do not, under any circumstances, write it down.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
