Inner & Outer Semidirect Products Derivation - Group Theory

Semidirect products are a very important tool for studying groups because they allow us to break a group into smaller components using normal subgroups and complements! Here we describe a derivation for the idea of semidirect products and an explanation of how the map into the automorphism group relates to conjugation.
