group
     
        A group G is a non-empty {set} upon which a {binary} operator
        * is defined with the following properties for all a,b,c in G:
     
          Closure:     G is closed under *,  a*b in G
          Associative: * is associative on G, (a*b)*c = a*(b*c)
          Identity:    There is an identity element  e  such that
        	       a*e = e*a = a.
          Inverse:     Every element has a unique inverse a' such that
        	       a * a' = a' * a = e.  The inverse is usually
        	       written with a superscript -1.
