=== Note on numbers and names === Below we present four theorems, labelled A, B, C and D. They are often numbered as "First isomorphism theorem", "Second..." and so on; however, there is no universal agreement on the numbering. Here we give some examples of the group isomorphism theorems in the literature. Notice that these theorems have analogs for rings and modules. <!-- Do not expand this list indiscriminately. This is here just to show the lack of the established convention. --> {| class="wikitable" |+ Comparison of the names of the group isomorphism theorems |- ! scope="col" | Comment ! scope="col" | Author ! scope="col" | Theorem A ! scope="col" | Theorem B ! scope="col" | Theorem C |- | rowspan=4 | No "third" theorem !
