Historical Note on Diaconescu-Goodman-Myhill Theorem

The proof of the Diaconescu-Goodman-Myhill Theorem was first published in $1975$ by Radu Diaconescu.

It was later independently rediscovered by Noah D. Goodman and John R. Myhill and published in $1978$.

However, the first appearance of the result itself was in Errett Albert Bishop's $1967$ work Foundations of Constructive Analysis, where he set it as an exercise, without including a solution.
