Talk:injective

Etymology
"This term was introduced by in his treatise Éléments de mathématique." is a series of books, so this etymology is incomplete (book, year, page?). Also "Éléments de mathématique" is a French title which implies that English "injective" comes from French "injectif" which was invented by Nicolas Bourbaki. However, jeff560.tripod.com/i.html states: So if the OED is correct, then the word wasn't invented by Nicholas Bourbaki but by Eilenberg and Steenrod or somebody else before them. -19:31, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) "The OED records a use of [...] injective in Eilenberg and Steenrod in Foundations of Algebraic Topology (1952)."
 * 2) "However the family of terms is introduced on p. 80 of Nicholas Bourbaki’s Théorie des ensembles, Éléments de mathématique Première Partie, Livre I, Chapitres I, II (1954)."
