Composite of Isomorphisms is Isomorphism/R-Algebraic Structure

Theorem
Let:
 * $\left({S_1, \ast_1}\right)_R$
 * $\left({S_2, \ast_2}\right)_R$
 * $\left({S_3, \ast_3}\right)_R$

be $R$-algebraic structures with the same number of operations.

Let:
 * $\phi: \left({S_1, \ast_1}\right)_R \to \left({S_2, \ast_2}\right)_R$
 * $\psi: \left({S_2, \ast_2}\right)_R \to \left({S_3, \ast_3}\right)_R$

be isomorphisms.

Then the composite of $\phi$ and $\psi$ is also an isomorphism.

Proof
If $\phi$ and $\psi$ are both isomorphisms, then they are by definition:
 * homomorphisms
 * bijections.

So:


 * From Composite of Homomorphisms for R-Algebraic Structures we have that $\phi \circ \psi$ and $\psi \circ \phi$ are both homomorphisms
 * From Composite of Bijections is Bijection we have that $\phi \circ \psi$ and $\psi \circ \phi$ are both bijections;

and hence by definition also isomorphisms.
