\end{proof}
Because a simplicial abelien group $A$ is a contravariant functor, these equations (which only consist of compositions and identities) also hold in its image. For example the first equation would look like: $ A(\delta_i)A(\delta_j) = A(\delta_{j-1})A(\delta_i) $ for $ i < j$ (again note that $A$ is contravariant, and hence composition is reversed). This can be used for a explicit definition of simplicial abelien groups. In this definition a simplicial abelian group $A$ consists of a family abelian groups $(A_n)_{n}$ together with face and degeneracy maps (which are grouphomomorphisms) such that the simplicial equations hold.
\todo{sAb: Write this out, and define notation for it (eg. $\delta^i, \sigma^i$)}
\todo{sAb: Note that $\sigma^i$ is a monomorphism because of (3)}
\subsection{Other simplicial objects}
Of course the abstract definition of simplicial abelian group can easilty be generalized to other categories. For example $\Set^{\DELTA^{op}} = \sSet$ is the category of simplicial sets.
\todo{sAb: as example do the free abelian group pointwise}
\todo{sAb: Say a bit more (because Mueger will not like this)}

This construction gives a functor $C : \sAb \to \Ch{\Ab}$. And in fact we already used it in the construction of the singular chaincomplex, where we defined the boundary maps as $\del(\sigma) = \sigma \circ \delta^0 - \sigma \circ \delta^1 + \ldots + (-1)^{n+1} \sigma \circ \delta^{n+1}$ (on generators). The terms $\sigma \circ \delta^i$ are the maps given by the $\mathbf{Hom}$-functor from $\Top$ to $\Set$, in fact this $\mathbf{Hom}$-functor can be used to get a functor $Sing : \Top \to \sSet$, applying the free abelain group pointwise give a functor $\Z^\ast : \sSet \to \sAb$, and finally using the functor $C$ gives the singular chain complex.
\todo{C: is this a nice thing to add?}
\todo{C: Note that we cannot do $\Ch{\Ab}\to\sAb$ this simple, as we need monomorphisms}
\todo{C: Note that hence $C$ will not work as an equivalence}
