| | The First Isomorphism Theorem The meat of our last primer was a proof that quotient groups are well-defined. One important result that helps us compute groups is a very easy consequence of this well-definition. Recall that if $ G,H$ are groups and $ \varphi: G \to H$ is a group homomorphism, then the image of $ \varphi$ is a subgroup of $ H$. Also the kernel of $ \varphi$ is the normal subgroup of $ G$ consisting of the elements which are mapped to the identity under $ \varphi$.

| | YBC 7289 Introduction (A pdf version of this post appears at the end of this post.) We propose a one-shot calculation of ?2 using Babylonian mathematics. An Old-Babylonian (OB) tablet YBC 7289 (from around 1800 B.C. to 1600 B.C.) contains the approximation B = 1 + 24/60 + 51/602 + 10/603 = 30547/21600 for ?2....
