>Quotients are essential tools for investigating algebraic structures. If you want to understand algebra, master this. Once you do you get the First Isomorphism Theorem which is used in countless proofs
Yeah, you use quotient groups and the FIT to construct algebraic structures out of existing ones. For example, the quotient ring R[x] / (x^2 + 1) is the complex numbers.
