The document proves that map f (map g xs) = map (f . g) xs for any functions f and g and list xs. It does this by:
1) Starting from the base case that mapping an empty list results in an empty list
2) Assuming map f (map g xs) = map (f . g) xs is true for some list xs
3) Showing through substitutions and definitions that this holds true for lists of the form x:xs as well
4) Concluding that the original statement is true for all lists xs
