Examples of The Regular Group Representation
Z2 = {0,1} with addition modulo 2; group element 0 corresponds to the identity permutation e, group element 1 to permutation (12).
Z3 = {0,1,2} with addition modulo 3; group element 0 corresponds to the identity permutation e, group element 1 to permutation (123), and group element 2 to permutation (132). E.g. 1 + 1 = 2 corresponds to (123)(123)=(132).
Z4 = {0,1,2,3} with addition modulo 4; the elements correspond to e, (1234), (13)(24), (1432).
The elements of Klein four-group {e, a, b, c} correspond to e, (12)(34), (13)(24), and (14)(23).
S3 (dihedral group of order 6) is the group of all permutations of 3 objects, but also a permutation group of the 6 group elements:
| * | e | a | b | c | d | f | permutation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| e | e | a | b | c | d | f | e |
| a | a | e | d | f | b | c | (12)(35)(46) |
| b | b | f | e | d | c | a | (13)(26)(45) |
| c | c | d | f | e | a | b | (14)(25)(36) |
| d | d | c | a | b | f | e | (156)(243) |
| f | f | b | c | a | e | d | (165)(234) |

“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

“[I]n our country economy, letter writing is an hors d’oeuvre. It is no part of the regular routine of the day.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
