In a probabilistic setting, a property is said to hold almost surely if the set of sample points for which the property is not satisfied is included in a zero-probability event. In symbols: where is the sample space, is the set of all points that do not satisfy property and is a zero-probability event.

The term "almost surely" is explained in more detail in the lecture entitled Zero-probability events.
