Introduction to Isomorphism
Description
A detailed tutorial on isomorphism. Step by step tutorial including several examples of isomorphism for reference.
Overview
Isomorphism is a topic and concept that is commonly used in abstract algebra. Let (G, o) and (H, *) be groups. A homomorphism h: (G, o) –> (H, *) that is one-to-one and onto H is called an isomorphism. If h is an isomorphism, we say that (G, o) and (H, *) are isomorphic. Homomorphism is the inverse of isomorphism.

Description
A detailed tutorial on homomorphism. Step by step tutorial including several examples of homomorphism for reference.
Overview
Homomorphism is a topic and concept that is commonly used in abstract algebra. Let (G, o) and (H, *) be groups. An mapping of h: (G, o) –> (H, *) is called a homomorphism from (G, o) to (H, *). The range of h is called the homomorphic image of (G, o) under h. Isomorphism is the inverse of homomorphism.

How to Define Cardinal Numbers
Description
A detailed tutorial on the definition of cardinal numbers. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to define cardinal numbers for reference.
Overview
Cardinal numbers are natural numbers that are used to measure cardinality of sets. Cardinality is a fancy way of saying the size of a set. This means the cardinality is the number of elements in a set, provided that the set is finite. If the set is infinite, something called a transfinite cardinal number is used to describe the cardinality of the set. Cardinal numbers are a very important part of set theory, even though they are not studied often or used constantly.

Introduction to Hilbert Space
Description
A detailed tutorial on on the application of Hilbert space. Step by step tutorial including several examples of Hilbert space for reference.
Overview
A Hilbert space is commonly used in vector algebra and calculus to generalize the notion of Euclidean space. It is an abstract vector space possessing the structure of an inner product that allows length and angle to be measured. Hilbert spaces are also complete, which is a property that allows enough limits in the space for calculus to be used accurately.
