Isomorphisms for Groups
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.

In this example, we show that the real numbers under addition are isomorphic to the group of positive real numbers under multiplication.
