Definition df-dm 4298

Description: Define the domain of a class. Definition 3 of [Suppes] p. 59. For example, F = { ⟨ 2 , 6 ⟩, ⟨ 3 , 9 ⟩ } → dom F = { 2 , 3 } . Contrast with range (defined in df-rn 4299). For alternate definitions see dfdm2 4795, dfdm3 4465, and dfdm4 4470. The notation "dom " is used by Enderton; other authors sometimes use script D. (Contributed by NM, 1-Aug-1994.)
