Conjugacy Class
In mathematics, especially group theory, the elements of any group may be partitioned into conjugacy classes; members of the same conjugacy class share many properties, and study of conjugacy classes of non-abelian groups reveals many important features of their structure. In all abelian groups every conjugacy class is a set containing one element (singleton set).
Functions that are constant for members of the same conjugacy class are called class functions.

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“The intellectual is a middle-class product; if he is not born into the class he must soon insert himself into it, in order to exist. He is the fine nervous flower of the bourgeoisie.”
—Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
