Example 1.
First initialize a Lie algebra. We illustrate the fact that the Adjoint matrix Ad(, for any in the Lie algebra, is always a Lie algebra homomorphism (in fact, an isomorphism).

Example 3.
In this example we construct the quotient algebra of Alg1 by the ideal Call the quotient Alg2. We check that the canonical projection map from Alg1 to Alg2 is a Lie algebra homomorphism.

Example 4.
In this example we shall find all the monomorphisms from the 2-dimensional solvable Lie algebra into Alg1. This effectively computes all the 2-dimensional non-Abelian subalgebras of Alg1. First initialize the 2-dimensional solvable algebra and call it Alg3.
