Extract

In The Gazette for February 1962 (Vol. XLVI, pp. 1–5), Mr. Roger North gave a very interesting method for constructing a group of any even order whose elements are functions of x, the rule of combination being substitution of one function in another. He also showed that the group of order 8 so formed is isomorphic to the octic group, the group of rotations of a square. (See also the article by Miss Joan Holland in The Gazette for February 1964, pp. 47-57.)
