About this video
A group homomorphism is a function between two groups that identifies similarities between them. This essential tool in abstract algebra lets you find two groups which are identical (but may not appear to be), only similar, or completely different from one another.
Homomorphisms will be used through abstract algebra. You will study homomorphisms between groups, rings, fields, modules, vector spaces, and more.
Correction note: at 6:10 -i in the second table should be outlined in purple. Thank you to viewer Power Max for catching this!
