In mathematics, Schreier's lemma is a theorem in group theory used in the Schreier–Sims algorithm and also for finding a presentation of a subgroup.
Suppose H{\displaystyle H} is a subgroup of G{\displaystyle G}, which is finitely generated with generating set S{\displaystyle S}, that is, G = ⟨S⟩{\displaystyle \scriptstyle \langle S\rangle }.
