Abstract
In the study of any algebraic structure there are two concepts that are of paramount importance. The first is that of a substructure (i.e. a subset with the same type of structure), and the second is that of a morphism (i.e. a mapping from one structure to another of the same kind that is ‘structure-preserving’).
