  PlanetMath: Cayley table
A Cayley table for a group is essentially the “multiplication table” of the group.
The columns and rows of the table (or matrix) are labeled with the elements of the group, and the cells represent the result of applying the group operation to the row-th and column-th elements.
All Cayley tables for isomorphic groups are isomorphic (that is, the same, invariant of the labeling and ordering of group elements).

 Arthur Cayley Summary
Cayley was born in England during a short visit of his parents to Richmond, Surrey, but spent his first eight years in Russia where his father plied a living as a merchant.
Cayley was reluctant to take holy orders, however, and in light of the regulations of the time he was required to give up his fellowship after a certain period.
Cayley entered Lincoln's Inn, one of the Inns of Court for the training of prospective lawyers in 1846 and was admitted to the bar in 1849.

 Cayley table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In essence, the Cayley table is the group-theoretic analogue of an addition or a multiplication table.
Cayley tables were presented in an 1889 paper of Cayley's, On The Theory of Groups, and focused on the construction of colourgroups, graphical depictions of groups by coloured lines and routes.
Cayley originally set up his "squares" so that the identity element was first, giving rise to the first row and column acting as column headers.

The quilts are made using Cayley tables as a basic pattern which is repeatedly tiled across the quilt surface.
The D4 Table quilt is a Cayley table for the dihedral group D4, whose motions are applied to the image of the original table.
The color of each pixel in the image of the table is increased by the sum of its x and y coordinates modulo n, where n is the size of the table's image in pixels.

 Cayley biography
In 1863 Cayley was appointed Sadleirian professor of Pure Mathematics at Cambridge.
He gives the 'Cayley tables' of some special permutation groups but, much more significantly for the introduction of the abstract group concept, he realised that matrices and quaternions were groups.
Cayley developed the theory of algebraic invariance, and his development of n-dimensional geometry has been applied in physics to the study of the space-time continuum.

 Finite Groups and Cayley Tables
In any Cayley table of a finite group the identity elements must be distributed symmetrically about the main diagonal.
Thus this cannot be the Cayley table for a group as in a group every right inverse is also a left inverse.
It is not simply a matter of glancing at the Cayley table of a group to notice whether it is the same group as is represented in a different Cayley table.

 Arthur Cayley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
Arthur Cayley showed great skill in numerical calculations at school and his aptitude for advanced mathematics was apparent.
He spent 14 years as a lawyer but Cayley, although very skilled in the legal specialty of conveyancing, always considered it as a means to make money so that he could pursue mathematics.
In 1854, Cayley wrote two papers which are remarkable for the insight they have of abstract groups.

 Maths -Groups Cayley Table - Martin Baker
We can use a table to represent a finite group, but we can also use a Cayley Table to represent the multiplication rules of a group whose elements consist of a number of scalar dimentions, the table tells us how these dimentions combine.
The table only represents the type of each entry and whether there is any sign reversal, to actually multiply two whe have to multiply the scalar values to determine there contribution to the given dimention.
For instance, imagine we have an algebra defined by table 1 and the elements of this algebra are another algebra defined by table 2.

 Group theory terms
A multiplication table for a group is named thus because it is much like elementary school multiplication tables, except that it uses the group elements and operation rather than integers under ordinary, everyday multiplication.
Thus the table is a grid, and across the top row and down the left column every element of the group is listed, and filling the rest of the table is the results of applying the group operation to the elements in the header row and column.
Multiplication tables and Cayley diagrams can both organize themselves by the cosets of a subgroup and then separate those cosets (or "chunk" them) to help you visualize the quotient operation.

A Cayley Table is really just like the square tables for multiplication or addition that one sees in primary school, but generalised to abstract algebraic structures.
At this stage, this is nothing more than just a set of symbols, two of which happen to be symbols we frequently use to represent the number one and the number zero (or whatever zero is if it isn't a number).
Aside from the historical significance, this is a bloody fantastic table, with plenty of zero's in it.

By comparing an embedded subgroup of a symmetric group with a symmetric group of lower degree having exactly the same elements (in disjoint cycle notations), the students will see the distinction between subgroup of a symmetric group and a subset which is also a group but not a subgroup of that symmetric group.
So one of our projects is to have the students write a procedure to construct a table for a permutation group G. The procedure calls the already defined function gpElements to create a list of all elements of G then it constructs a two dimensional array of size o(G) x o(G).
Since the abstract group Table for G, will be the same as the abstract group table for PG we can use our procedure abs_gp_table(n,PG) to construct an abstract group table for G. Cayley's Table: an application of the procedure abs_gp_table
