A Homomorphism (not to be confused with homeomorphism) is a structure preserving map.

For example, given vector spaces [ilmath]V\text{ and }W[/ilmath] then [math]\text{Hom}(V,W)[/math] is the vector space of all linear maps of the form [math]f:V\rightarrow W[/math], as linear maps will preserve the vector space structure.
