Theorem coass 6113

Description: Associative law for class composition. Theorem 27 of [Suppes] p. 64. Also Exercise 21 of [Enderton] p. 53. Interestingly, this law holds for any classes whatsoever, not just functions or even relations. (Contributed by NM, 27-Jan-1997.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
coass	⊢ ((𝐴 ∘ 𝐵) ∘ 𝐶) = (𝐴 ∘ (𝐵 ∘ 𝐶))

Proof of Theorem coass

Dummy variables 𝑥 𝑦 𝑧 𝑤 are mutually distinct and distinct from all other variables.
