MONIC

Etymology

Adjective

monic (not comparable)

(mathematics) Of a polynomial whose leading coefficient is one.

(biology) Monomorphic.

(category theory) Of a morphism: that it is a monomorphism.

It is often convenient to view a monic arrow \(i: A \rightarrowtail C\), defined in Chapter 1, as showing that A is a copy of a part of C, and that i maps the copy on to that part. For example, in Set, the monic arrows are the one-to-one functions and, clearly, if i is one-to-one then A is a copy of a subset of C, namely of the image of i.

Noun

monic (plural monics)

A monic polynomial.
