Summary
Fixes a typo in the proof of Proposition 2.1 (part 2) in Chapter 1, Exercise 2.2, as reported in issue #[number].
The Problem
In the proof's construction of the right-inverse function
g:B→A, line 203 incorrectly stated:This is mathematically incorrect because:
ghas domainB(notA), sog(a)wherea∈Adoesn't make sensegis a right-inverse off, meaningf∘g = id_B, which requiresf(g(b)) = bfor allb∈BThe Fix
Changed line 203 to correctly state:
This makes the proof logically consistent with:
f(g(b)) = bin the forward directionf(g(b)) = bas the resultThe rest of the proof remains unchanged and correct.
Original prompt
Fixes #17
