We can easily see that the function $f\colon x\to x^2$ is not one-one or onto on the set of integers. Though it is one-one if defined on the set of positive integers. I wanted to know if the function is one-one or onto or both on a set of rational numbers, real numbers and complex numbers?
Is the function $f\colon x\to x^2$ one-one or onto or both on a set of rational numbers, real numbers and complex numbers?

0Well, either be more specific on this set you look for, or else just take $\{0\}$. Besides, the set of positive integers is also a set of rational, real or complex numbers. – 2012-08-28
