    Automorphisms

    Show that all automorphisms of a group G form a group under function composition. Then show that the inner automorphisms of G, defined by f : G--->G so that f(x) = (a^(-1))(x)(a), form a normal subgroup of the group of all automorphisms. For the first part, I can see that we need to show that f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) for x in
