 Solution

A subgroup $N\le G$ is normal whenIts left and right cosets then agree, and multiplicationis well defined on the cosets. The identity is $N$, the inverse of $gN$ is $g^{-1}N$, and associativity descends from $G$, so these cosets form the quotient group $G/N$.

For a group homomorphism $\theta :G\to H$, its kernel and image areThe kernel is normal becausewhenever $k\in \ker \theta$. Conversely, if $K⊴G$, the quotient mapis a homomorphism with kernel $K$. The image of any homomorphism is closed under products and inverses, so it is a subgroup of $H$. Finally, the mapis well defined and bijective and preserves multiplication. This is the first isomorphism theorem.

DefineEuler's formula shows that $\Phi$ is a homomorphism, its image is the complex unit circle, and its kernel is $\mathbb{Z}$. The first isomorphism theorem therefore givesThe image of $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$ consists exactly of the roots of unity: if $t=p/q$, then $\Phi (t{)}^q=1$, while every element of finite order on the unit circle has an argument that is a rational multiple of $2\pi$.
