Theorem coass 5097
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 set.mm contributors, 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.
