A value is regular when the derivative is surjective at every point of its preimage.
The preimage of a regular value of a smooth map between manifolds is a smooth submanifold whose codimension equals the dimension of the target.
For a smooth map between smooth manifolds, the set of critical values has measure zero in the target. In particular, regular values are dense.
