    Abstract Algebra : Permutations, Binary Operations and Mappings

    Consider a non-empty set A. Prove that S(A) is closed in (M(A),o). Meaning: "o" is the composition of functions which defines a binary operation on M(A), the set of all maps from A to A. You need to prove that the set of all permutations on A is closed under the composition.
