Whitehead's Lemma states that if you have a projective module over a ring, then any homomorphism from this projective module to an injective module can be lifted to any projective cover of the module being mapped. This lemma is essential in understanding the relationship between projective and injective modules, especially when considering resolutions and extensions in homological algebra.
congrats on reading the definition of Whitehead's Lemma. now let's actually learn it.
