Learn group homomorphisms through visual intuition, exact definitions, complete proofs, and a detailed map from the integers to Z₄. This Woody Calculus lesson explains operation preservation, kernels, images, fibers, quotient groups, injectivity, surjectivity, and the First Isomorphism Theorem.
Why does the simple cubic x³ − 2 create the six-element symmetry group S₃? This Woody Calculus Abstract Algebra lesson explains the roots, splitting field, extension degree, automorphisms, triangle symmetries, and quotient group connection behind one of the cleanest examples in Galois theory.
Quotient groups are how Abstract Algebra collapses a group into a simpler structure. In this Woody Calculus visual lesson, learn how cosets become the new elements, why normal subgroups are required, how modular arithmetic is a quotient group, and how kernels lead directly to the First Isomorphism Theorem.
Galois theory explains why some equations can be solved by radicals and others cannot. This undergraduate-friendly introduction explores Galois groups, splitting fields, fixed fields, subgroup lattices, normal subgroups, and the deep symmetry behind the quintic equation.
