    Isomorphism Proof
Click For Summary
To prove that ψ is an isomorphism from H to G, start by noting that ψ is injective because ϕ is well-defined, and it is surjective since ϕ covers all elements in its domain. To establish that ψ is a homomorphism, consider the equation involving elements x and y from G, which shows how the operation in G translates through ϕ and ψ. Applying ψ to both sides of the equation confirms that the group operation is preserved. Thus, ψ meets the criteria for being an isomorphism from H to G.

I'm trying to figure out how to prove this, but I'm unsure how to approach it.

Let G and H be groups, let ϕ: G → H be an isomorphism, and let ψ be the inverse function of ϕ. Prove that ψ is an isomorphism from H to G.

any help? thanks

Here are some hints to start you off: $\psi$ is injective because $\phi$ is well defined, and it is surjective because $\phi$ is defined on all elements in its domain. There, you just have to translate that into mathematical symbols. (Smile) As for it being a homomorphism, observe that for $x,y\in G$,
$$xy\ =\ \left[\phi(\psi(x))\right]\left[\phi(\psi(y))\right]\ =\ \phi\left[\psi(x)\psi(y)\right].$$
Now apply $\psi$ to both sides.

Thread 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
