 Finitely generated abelian group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fundamental theorem of finitely generated abelian groups states that every finitely generated abelian group G is isomorphic to a direct sum of primary cyclic groups and infinite cyclic groups.
Stated differently the fundamental theorem says that a finitely-generated abelian group is the direct sum of a free abelian group of finite rank and a finite abelian group, each of those being unique up to isomorphism.
The finitely generated abelian groups, together with the group homomorphisms, form an abelian category which is a Serre subcategory of the category of abelian groups.

 Abelian group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abelian groups are named after Niels Henrik Abel.
This is a special application of the fundamental theorem of finitely generated abelian groups in the case when G has torsion-free rank equal to 0.
Given this, the fundamental theorem shows that to compute the automorphism group of G it suffices to compute the automorphism groups of the Sylow p-subgroups separately (that is, all cyclic subgroups with order a power of p).

 MATH 335 -- Modern Algebra -- Spring 2006
The abstract point of view, based on an axiomatic approach, reveals many deep ideas behind seemingly innocent structures--such as the arithmetic of counting numbers--and serves as an elegant organizing tool for the vast universe of modern algebra.
Generations of brilliant minds have crystallized these ideas in the ideas in the concept of groups, rings, fields, modules, and their quotient structures and homomorphisms--the topics of MATH 335 & 435.
We will not strive for the maximal possible generality but rather work out as many concrete examples/incarnations of theoretical concepts as possible.
