Definition df-1st

Description: Define a function that extracts the first member, or abscissa, of an ordered pair. Theorem op1st proves that it does this. For example, ( 1st<. 3 , 4 >. ) = 3 . Equivalent to Definition 5.13 (i) of Monk1 p. 52 (compare op1sta and op1stb ). The notation is the same as Monk's. (Contributed by NM, 9-Oct-2004)
