# Öğrenme Kazanımı
1 It explains the concepts of group and subgroup, provides examples, and applies subgroup criteria.
2 It analyzes order relations in finite groups using cosets and Lagrangian Theorem.
3 It explains normal subgroups and quotient groups and interprets the relationships between group structures.
4 It explains group homomorphisms and isomorphisms, performs structural analysis using the concepts of kernel and image, and interprets Cayley's Theorem.
