Content:

A module $Q$ is {\it injective}
if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
(a) Every short exact sequence
of the form $0 \to Q \to B \to C \to 0$
is \PMlinkname{split}{SplitShortExactSequence};
(b) The functor ${\rm Hom}(-, Q)$
is \PMlinkname{exact}{ExactFunctor};
(c) If $f : X \to Y$ is a monomorphism
and there exists a homomorphism $g : X \to Q$,
then there exists a homomorphism $h : Y \to Q$
such that $hf = g$.
