What's the point of studying isomorphisms?

92 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to learn about groups/rings and the concept of isomorphisms appears everywhere. I understand that an isomorphism between groups/rings shows that arithmetic in both structures is essentially the same, but I don't understand how this can be applied to deduce anything about them. If someone could give an example or explain how isomorphisms can be used to answer a question I'd greatly appreciate it.
