+Side notes about free product of two groups + +Consider arbitrary group $G_1,G_2$, then $G_1\times G_2$ is a group. + +Note that the inclusion map $i_1:G_1\to G_1\times G_2$ is a group homomorphism and the inclusion map $i_2:G_2\to G_1\times G_2$ is a group homomorphism.

+ +Back to the Seifert-Van Kampen Theorem: + +Let $H=\pi_1(U,x_0)* \pi_1(V,x_0)$. + +Let $N$ be the **least normal subgroup** in the free product $H$, containing $i_1(g)i_2(g)^{-1}$, $\forall g\in \pi_1(U\cap V,x_0)$. + +Note $i_1(g)\in \pi_1(U,x_0)$ and $i_2(g)\in \pi_1(V,x_0)$. You may think of them as $G_1,G_2$ in the free group descriptions. + +#### Seifert-Van Kampen Theorem (classical version) + +There is an isomorphism between $\pi_1(U,x_0)* \pi_1(V,x_0)/N$ and $\pi_1(U\cup V,x_0)$.
