Let be a -mapping of manifolds and of dimensions and , respectively; if , then the critical values (cf. Critical value) of form a set of measure zero. The set of regular values turns out to be of full measure and everywhere dense. The theorem was proved by A. Sard [1].

"Full measure" is, in the Russian article, called "massive setmassive" . See also Singularities of differentiable mappings.
