During my second week at the Recurse Center, I've been trying to formalize Dummit and Foote's abstract algebra textbook (appropriately titled "Abstract Algebra") in Rocq. I had quite a hard time with the first proof exercise in the book because the stated proof goal is not true. This was both frustrating and exciting to figure out :) A function f from a set A to a set B ...
