An isomorphism is a homomorphism that is also a bijection. If there is an isomorphism between two groups G and H, then they are equivalent and we say they are "isomorphic." The groups may look different from each other, but their group properties will be the same.
Isomorphism Example #1
In this example, we show that the real numbers under addition are isomorphic to the group of positive real numbers under multiplication. This relationship dates back to the development of logarithms.
