f:R->S is a homomorphism of rings,such that kernel of f has 4 elements and the image of f has 16.How many elements has R?
16=|Im ( f )|=|R/ker f|=|R|/|ker f|=|R|/4=>|R|=4*16=64

Yes, your logic and answer are both correct.
 
The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
