Exercise 3, § 2

Algebra, I, 126

In the set F of mappings of E into E, for the relation f∘g=f∘hf \circ g = f \circ h to imply g=hg = h, it is necessary and sufficient that ff be injective; for the relation g∘f=h∘fg \circ f = h \circ f to imply g=hg = h, it is necessary and sufficient that ff be surjective; for ff to be cancellable (under the law ∘\circ), it is necessary and sufficient that ff be bijective.
