    Binary Decimals - Dual Expansion

    Hi, I'm trying to prove that there's a bijection between the open interval (0,1) and the set of all sequences whose elements are 0 or 1 in order to show cardinality continuum. So let C={a1, a2, a3,...|ai is either 0 or 1} which is the set of all sequences of 0's and 1's and let...

    Solve Binary Operations Question: Prove Isomorphism

    So I have really been struggling with this question. The original question said: The map \varphi:Z->Z defined by \varphi(n)=n+1 for n in Z is one to one and onto Z. For (Z, . ) onto (Z,*) (i am using . for usual multiplication) define * and show that * makes phi into an isomorphism. I know that...
