Your videos are really helpful to refresh the memory, by far the best that we have on Ab: Algebra in youtube. Would you mind doing videos on Isomorphism, cyclic groups, Galois theory, Sylow theory etc? They would really help lot of mathematics students. Again, really appreciate you work!
Thank you so much for your nice comment, devinda kariyawasam! We love to hear what other videos would be helpful! We are currently working on a video on isomorphisms - it will come out soon!
This is beyond amazing. I read through notes and questions on these topics for 1 hour and couldn't connect the dots but this video and the related ones made it completely clear! I love how you simplify each thing you're explaining. I believe it's called the Feynman technique. Anyways, thanks loads!
The videos are so good that I have to come back to each video and check that I haven't forgot to like them. Really want to support you on patreon but am unable to. Only a Big Thaaaaank you for such quality content for free.
The second example is a good one for seeing the difference between homomorphisms, which need not be injective, and isomorphisms & automorphisms, which by definition must be injective. I've been working my way through Benedict Gross' Harvard class on abstract algebra. The lectures are long and things can ramp up in abstraction and difficulty pretty quickly. Once in a while, I simply lose the thread completely. Having these far shorter and very well organized mini-lectures is proving really helpful thus far in clarifying and solidifying my understanding of key concepts. I don't imagine yours go nearly as far as the Harvard semester-long course does, but I'm happy for whatever I get from yours. Nicely done.
Thank you, Michael! We're starting off with a high level overview of Abstract Algebra, but in time we do hope to provide enough lessons to make an entire course. It will take some time to fill in all the gaps, though. :)
i've got overlapping lectures and have never seen an algebra lecture so far this semester. you have no idea how much your video is saving me from eternal doom right now. jesus christ thank you
@@Socratica thank you!! I’m sure it’ll be okay, thanks to the existence of people like you ☺️ makes catching up on content surprisingly doable and interesting, haha.
This is a superb video. The concept of a homomorphism seems so simple when it is explained like this. If you haven't seen these videos before, just keep in mind that this one is one of a series, it is best to start from the beginning on the definition of an algebraic group.
ألف ألف ألف شكر لك، والله انك مبدعة ورائعة، الله يسعدك والله انت تنشرين العلم والمعرفة وتفيدينا نحن طلاب الجامعة وتسهلين علينا ، أنت إنسانة عظيمة جدااااااااااااا الف الف شكر الف الف الف شكر لك من المملكة العربية السعودية، إلهي يسعدك ويخليك ، ياناس هذه الإنسانة ماتوفيها كلمات الشكر وقليلة عليها ، بجد انا ممتن لك ، تقبلي تحياتي
I have a coursework exam tomorrow based on Isomorphisms, Groups, and Rings. Your videos are helping me finally understand what my lecturer tried to teach. Thank you!
I love that final joke. One of the reasons I keep coming back to these videos. The jokes aside, these videos help me a lot. I hope one day I will be able to help back in some way.
Thank you for your kind message!! One way you can help is by sharing our videos! We've found that we don't always show up in search results, so if you know anyone studying math/science/programming send them our way! 💜🦉
A very good, brief overview of homomorphisms. I appreciate you taking the time do this video for us learners of abstract algebra. I took this course in 1998 for my BS in math and got a C, then again in grad school 2006 and dropped it because of life circumstances. Now, I'm taking it online and I am understanding so much more. This class and regression analysis were the toughest classes I have ever taken. I am good with algebra and calculus but this higher level modern math is intense. My favorite classes were diffy q's, vector calculus, graph theory, and linear algebra.
Thank you, Chris! Abstract Algebra is a pretty unusual course. It's often the first math class where you leave the realm of real and complex numbers and start exploring completely new structures. On top of that the focus is mainly on proving things. For me, I took abstract algebra after I had learned elementary number theory. As I learned group theory, I got quite excited at how easily I could now prove many of the theorems in number theory.
This is one of our favourite things about RUclips - we can slow a video down, pause it, rewind, or even return and watch it later (and it usually makes more sense the second time after we've gone away and thought about it for a while). We're so glad you're watching!! 💜🦉
Excellent! Great to see another super algebra video with Ms. Castro, packed with a lot of good information in four minutes. Maybe next show what happens to subgroups under a Homomorphism. Or maybe a little intro to Lie Groups.
Thank you so much for sharing and commenting, sanjursan! We love it when our viewers let us know what other videos would be helpful - more videos coming soon!
I have to say that this is the first math-channel on RUclips I've come across that is actually worth watching. The others that I've seen cover mathematics as calculus and over simplify concepts to the extent that they're not correct. The structure of mathematics is never revealed - the words definition and proof are either not used or used incorrectly. For example, Numberphile's "proof" that 1+2+3+4... = -1/12 is painful to watch. A physicist reasoning that the result must be true since there are applications for it in some theory in physics... Anyway, I immensly value the hard work you've put into these videos and the fact that you actually know what you're talking about!
To show the group {z \in C : |z|=1} under multiplication is a group, is it as follows...: Identity elt : \theta=0 since e^(0)=1 and e^(i\theta) * 1 = e^(i\theta) for all members of the set. Inverse elt exists since e^(i\theta)*e^(-i\theta)=e^0=1 for all -2pi
Hope this will save my exam lol! It looks very simple to understand, and yet abstract algebra is one of the most difficult math course in my major. Indeed, this course is like if I choose wrong assumption for "G", I will get roast for understanding the material. Thank you lecturer!
i kinda like your videos bc they are short and full of information but here a little suggestion being a student is that "include a bit more content in videos. so that it could be more useful for us." Thanks :)
There's something amazing about Liliana de Castro. I thought for a moment she was AI-generated but I see she's real with an off the charts IQ combined with beauty and poise. Scary. Looks like I'll be learning more group theory.
I earned an A in linear algebra, but that's been a long time ago. Your videos are awesome, and this brings back so many memories. Do you have one on eigenvectors and eigenvalues?
Socratica Friends, are you trying to improve as a student? We wrote a book for you! How to Be a Great Student ebook: amzn.to/2Lh3XSP Paperback: amzn.to/3t5jeH3 or read for free when you sign up for Kindle Unlimited: amzn.to/3atr8TJ
@Socratica, Please what's the difference between homeomorphism and homomorphism in the abstract algebra. You can as well use the idea of groups to explain the difference please!
In that final example mapping Rationals,+ to Complex Roots,*, could you also introduce an intermediate homomorphism and say, Rationals,+ -> Rationals%(2pi),+ | f(x) = x%2pi Rationals%(2pi),+ -> Complex Roots,* | f(x) = e^(ix) To obtain the same homomorphism?
oh my god 😂 That ending was just LOVE ❤ I had Already Subscribed but I wish there would be another button to subscribe so I would have Subscribed Million times just because of that ending💞
actually the square root is defined that it is a valid function only for nonnegative numbers so square root of -1 is not mathematically rigorous or correct notaion because of the definition of the sqrt fucntion. i is defined in a way that i^2 = -1
One could very easily define sqrt(z) for any z in the complex numbers. This is often done by defining a principal argument of a complex number, and using that principal argument to define a principal square root. Typically, the principal argument is defined as being in the inveral (−π,π], since this interval produces the nicest properties. (For example, "conj(z)^conj(w) = conj(z^w) when z is not a negative real number" is a true statement precisely when we take the argument to be the principal argument). I know many analysts say that there are other problems we care about where we do not wish to define a principal square root, but there's nothing wrong with it.
In example 2 : H = { Z ε C, abs(z) =1} How can it be group , each element in H has more than one inverse θ2 = θ1 +2κπ, whereas inverse should always be unique???
The choice of e as the base in the first example is arbitrary, isn't it? That homomorphism exists using the exponential function for any positive base, right?
Yes. Because for any real number c, c^(a+b) = c^a × c^b. I'm guessing they chose e because that can also show that the same homomorphism extends to the complex numbers.

Thanks for making this video. I'm learning A.A. on my own, and this really helps me understand the minor details that I sometimes miss.
I'm learning this as CS major at my uni, yet I feel like as if I wal learning it on my own bc the professors aren't really helpful lol
