Subject: co-
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 1998 12:39:19 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <199807031139.MAA09161@ruby.dcs.qmw.ac.uk> (raw)

What are the origins of the   co-   prefix, as in coproduct, coequaliser ...,
and who established their use?

Has anybody ever thought through and written down any guidelines on
which of a pair of dual concepts is co-?

Who is reponsible for dropping this prefix from cofinal?
(A mistake, IMHO).

Paul
