==Concrete examples==
*Every [[real number]] greater than zero has two real [[square root]]s, so that square root may be considered a multivalued function. For example, we may write <math>\sqrt{4}=\pm 2=\{2,-2\}</math>; although zero has only one square root, <math>\sqrt{0} =\{0\}</math>.
*Each nonzero [[complex number]] has two square roots, three [[cube root]]s, and in general ''n'' [[nth root|''n''th roots]]. The only ''n''th root of 0 is 0.
*The [[complex logarithm]] function is multiple-valued. The values assumed by <math>\log(a+bi)</math> for real numbers <math>a</math> and <math>b</math> are <math>\log{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} + i\arg (a+bi) + 2 \pi n i</math> for all [[integer]]s <math>n</math>.
