I'm not sure you know what isomorphic means.
- WiseWeasel 14y ago*quickly looks up the definition of 'isomorphism'* Definitions of isomorphism: Find isomorphisms at great prices! Wait, that's not one... strangely makes me want to click through though. 1. Biology: Similarity in form, as in organisms of different ancestry. 2. Mathematics: A one-to-one correspondence between the elements of two sets such that the result of an operation on elements of one set corresponds to the result of the analogous operation on their images in the other set. 3. Chemistry: A close similarity in the crystalline structure of two or more substances of similar chemical composition. Yep, definitely some questionable usage there.
- alex-g 14y agoThere's a story about a student (in group theory) being asked "Are G and H isomorphic?" and replying "G is isomorphic, but H isn't".
