  • (noun)
    1. The set containing exactly every member of the domain of a function such that the member is mapped by the function onto an element of a given subset of the codomain of the function. Formally, of a subset B of the codomain Y under a function ƒ, the subset of the domain X defined by
      f^{-1}(B) = \{x \in X : f(x) \in B\}.
