Students have asked these similar questions
take the groups Z4 and Z5, what will be the elements of Z4 x Z5?
Write down the six elements of S3 and give the multiplication table for
the group.
The six elements of S3 are then:

3. As I mentioned one night in class, symmetries of objects often give groups. Here you
will construct such a group.
Draw a square and label its vertices 1, 2, 3, 4 going clockwise.
It turns out that the square has eight symmetries. There are four rotations (you need to
tell me the angles) and four reflections (you need to draw the line of symmetry of each).
Each of these eight symmetries can be thought of as an element of S4 (according to how
it permutes the numbered vertices). For each of the eight symmetries, tell me the element of
S4 that you get!
(Note: this produces an eight-element subgroup of S4 that you might have had trouble
guessing otherwise.)
