  1. Isomorphic JavaScript apps are JavaScript applications that can run both

    client-side and server-side. The backend and frontend share the same code. — http://isomorphic.net
  2. The word derives from the Greek iso, meaning "equal," and

    morphosis, meaning "to form" or "to shape." — http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Isomorphism.html
  3. Informally, an isomorphism is a map that preserves sets and

    relations among elements. "A is isomorphic to B" is written A ≅ B. — http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Isomorphism.html
