\section{The First Isomorphism Theorem} \begin{theorem}[First Isomorphism Theorem (Jordan, 1870)] Let $\phi$ be a group homomorphism from $G$ to $\overline{G}$. Then the mapping from $G/\ker\phi$ to $\phi(G)$, given by $g\ker\phi \to \phi(g)$, is an isomorphism. In symbols, $G/\ker\phi \approx \phi(G)$. \end{theorem} \begin{corollary} If $\phi$ is a homomorphism from a finite group $G$ to $\overline{G}$, then $\abs{\phi(G)}$ divides $\abs{G}$ and $\abs{\overline{G}}$. \end{corollary} \begin{theorem}[Normal Subgroups Are Kernels] Every normal subgroup of a group $G$ is the kernel of a homomorphism of $G$. In particular, a normal subgroup $N$ is the kernel of the mapping $g \to gN$ from $G$ to $G/N$. \end{theorem}
