Saunders Mac Lane attempted to make a distinction between what he called monomorphisms, which were maps in a concrete category whose underlying maps of sets were injective, and monic maps, which are monomorphisms in the categorical sense of the word. Source: Internet
This monic equation has the same solutions as the original. Source: Internet
While this is not exactly true for monic maps, it is very close, so this has caused little trouble, unlike the case of epimorphisms. Source: Internet
