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:
“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
—Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)
“My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“Methought her long, small legs and thighs
I with my tendrils did surprise;
Her belly, buttocks, and her waist
By my soft nervelets were embraced;”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“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)
