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.

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.

Identifying Zero Polynomials
Description
A detailed tutorial on identifying zero polynomials. Step by step tutorial including several examples of identifying zero polynomials for reference.
Overview
A zero polynomial is the additive identity of an additive group of polynomials. So this means it is not a unique polynomial, even though it may seem like it. In order to identify a zero polynomial, you need to be aware of the two properties that zero polynomials possess. The first one is that all coefficients of a zero polynomial are zero, and add up to zero. The second is that a zero polynomial doesn’t have a degree – it is an undefined degree. Typically people will write this as a degree of -1, or more common, of negative infinity.
