Image of a Group Homomorphism

Definition

Let $f:G\to H$ be a group homomorphism. The image of $f$ is the set of elements of $H$ that are mapped to by $f$, namely $$\im f = \{ f(g)\mid g\in G\}.$$


Remarks

  • I would like to use Cryptography to help the students see that the image of a group homomorphism must always be a subgroup of $H$.
