There exists none. What's the easiest way to prove this?
Can we state that all elements of ℤ are in ℤ[x] but not the other way around?

An isomorphism between ℤ and ℤ[x] is a bijective function that preserves the algebraic structure of the two sets. This means that the function maps integers to polynomials in such a way that the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication are preserved.
To prove that ℤ and ℤ[x] are isomorphic, you need to show that there exists a bijective function between the two sets that preserves the algebraic structure. This can be done by defining a function that maps integers to polynomials in a way that satisfies the definition of an isomorphism.
An isomorphism between ℤ and ℤ[x] is significant because it allows us to use the familiar algebraic properties of integers to understand and manipulate polynomials. This can be particularly useful in solving equations involving polynomials.
Yes, other sets can be isomorphic to ℤ and ℤ[x]. Isomorphism is a concept that can be applied to any two sets that have a similar algebraic structure. For example, the sets of real numbers and complex numbers are also isomorphic.
An isomorphism between ℤ and ℤ[x] has implications in number theory as it allows us to view polynomials as a generalization of integers. This can lead to insights and connections between different concepts in number theory, such as prime numbers, factorization, and divisibility.
