Let be a non-trivial group. Three nonempty subsets are said to have the triple product property in if for all elements, it is the case that
where is the identity of .
It plays a role in research of fast matrix multiplication algorithms.

Moulding nature at his will,
So shaped, so colored, swift or still,
And, sculptor-like, his large design
Etched on Alp and Apennine.”

The surface, is the purpose to be seen,
The property of the moon, what it evokes.”
