Theorem coass 5098

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

coass	|- ((A o. B) o. C) = (A o. (B o. C))

Proof of Theorem coass
