📖Definition

An isomorphism is a bijective homomorphism. If two structures are isomorphic, they are algebraically identical. It represents essential structural sameness.

📐Formulas

φ: G → H isomorphism ⇔ φ bijective homomorphism

Definition of isomorphism

G ≅ H

G and H are isomorphic

G / ker(φ) ≅ im(φ)

First Isomorphism Theorem

✏️Examples
