different between monic vs nonic

English

Etymology

mono- +? -ic

Adjective

monic (not comparable)

1. (mathematics) Of a polynomial whose leading coefficient is one.
2. (biology) Monomorphic.
3. (category theory) Of a morphism: that it is a monomorphism.

   • It is often convenient to view a monic arrow ${\displaystyle i:A\rightarrowtail C}$, 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.

   If a composition (of morphisms) is monic then, by theorem, the pre-composite of it is monic as well.

Noun

1. A monic polynomial.
