Subject: "maps to"
Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 09:17:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B5A6557CFDF6D211960E0008C7F355850134F39B@tesla.open.ac.uk> (raw)
[This is not exclusively category theory, I know, but I think the categories
list members are the sort of people who might know the answer.]
Does anyone know the origins of "|->" as symbol for "maps to", e.g. defining
a function by
x |-> 3x + 5 ?
Steve Vickers.
