Weve also developed an intuitive notion of what it means for two groups to be the same. This latter property is so important it is actually worth isolating. Since homomorphisms preserve the group operation, they also preserve many other group properties. The most important examples of finite groups are the group of permutations of a set of n objects, known as the symmetric group, and the group of nonsingular nbyn matrices over a finite field, which is called the general linear group.
