The Vietnamese word "đẳng cấu" is a term used primarily in mathematics, specifically in the field of algebra and geometry. It translates to "isomorphous" in English, referring to a concept where two structures are considered the same in terms of their shape or form, even if they are represented in different ways.
In mathematics, when we say two objects are "đẳng cấu," it means that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the two objects that preserves the structure. This concept is often used when discussing algebraic structures, such as groups, rings, or vector spaces.
While "đẳng cấu" primarily refers to the mathematical concept of isomorphism, in a broader sense, it can also be applied metaphorically to describe situations where two different entities or ideas are equivalent or can be transformed into one another without losing their fundamental properties.
