short exact sequence (Definition)

Let $ A,B,C$ be objects in an abelian category. A short exact sequence is an exact sequence of the form

$\displaystyle 0 \to A \to B \to C \to 0.$
Note that in this case, the homomorphism $ A \to B$ must be a monomorphism, and the homomorphism $ B \to C$ must be an epimorphism.
