Submersion Theorem
In mathematics, a submersion is a differentiable map between differentiable manifolds whose differential is everywhere surjective. This is a basic concept in differential topology. The notion of a submersion is dual to the notion of an immersion. Definition Let ''M'' and ''N'' be differentiable manifolds and f\colon M\to N be a differentiable map between them. The map is a submersion at a point p\in M if its differential :Df_p \colon T_p M \to T_N is a surjective linear map. In this case is called a regular point of the map , otherwise, is a critical point. A point q\in N is a regular value of if all points in the preimage f^(q) are regular points. A differentiable map that is a submersion at each point p\in M is called a submersion. Equivalently, is a submersion if its differential Df_p has constant rank equal to the dimension of . A word of warning: some authors use the term ''critical point'' to describe a point where the rank of the Jacobian matrix of at is ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...
