List of Small Non-abelian Groups
| Order | Group | Subgroups | Properties | Cycle Graph |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | S3 = Dih3 | Z3, Z2 (3) | the smallest non-abelian group | |
| 8 | Dih4 | Z4, Z22 (2), Z2 (5) | ||
| quaternion group, Q8 = Dic2 | Z4 (3), Z2 | the smallest Hamiltonian group; smallest group demonstrating that all subgroups may be normal without the group being abelian; the smallest group G demonstrating that for a normal subgroup H the quotient group G/H need not be isomorphic to a subgroup of G | ||

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, small and/or groups:
“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

“The whisky on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death;
Such waltzing was not easy.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
