$f : U subset R^3 to R$ is differentiable function.
$f^-(0)$ is regular surface.
Is gradient f(p) $neq$ 0 for at all $p in f^-(0)$ ?
I think the above question is true.
By the way, I do not know where to start the proof.
Give me a hint.

Is not true. Take for example the following function
$$
f(x_1, x_2, x_3) := ( |x|^2 - 1 )^2,
$$
where $|x| = sqrtx_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2$.
Clearly $f^-1(0)$ is the unit sphere but you can check that the gradient is zero everywhere on each point of the sphere, because each point is a minimum point.
