Normal Subgroups and Quotient Groups (aka Factor Groups) - Abstract Algebra

Normal subgroups are a powerful tool for creating factor groups (also called quotient groups). In this video we introduce the concept of a coset, talk about which subgroups are “normal” subgroups, and show when the collection of cosets can be treated as a group of their own. As a motivation, we will begin by discussing congruences.
