\section{Normal Subgroups} \begin{definition}[Normal Subgroup] A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is called a \textit{normal} subgroup of $G$ if $aH = Ha$ for all $a$ in $G$. We denote this by $H \triangleleft G$. \end{definition} \begin{theorem}[Normal Subgroup Test] A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is normal in $G$ if and only if $xHx^{-1} \subseteq H$ for all $x$ in $G$. \end{theorem}
