The term domain has (at least) three different meanings in mathematics.
The term domain is most commonly used to describe the set of values for which a function (map, transformation, etc.) is defined. For example, a function that is defined for real values has domain , and is sometimes said to be "a function over the reals." The set of values to which is sent by the function is then called the range.
Unfortunately, the term range is sometimes used in probability theory to mean domain (Feller 1968, p. 200; Evans et al. 2000). To confuse matters even more, the term "range" is more commonly used in statistics to refer to a completely different quantity, known in this work as the statistical range. As if this wasn't confusing enough, Evans et al. (2000, p. 6) define a probability domain to be the range of the distribution function of a probability density function.
The domain (in its usual established mathematical sense) of a probability density function (and therefore also its distribution function) is available with the undocumented Wolfram Language command DistributionDomain[dist].
The meaning of "domain" in topology is a connected open set.
Another meaning of "domain" is what is more properly known as an integral domain, i.e., a ring that
is commutative under multiplication, has an identity element, and no divisors of 0.
