Definition
This has several forms, all of which are isomorphic:
 * The group $\struct {\Z_2, +_2}$
 * $C_2$, the cyclic group of order 2
 * The complex square roots of unity $\struct {\set {1, -1}, \times}$
 * The quotient group $\dfrac {S_n} {A_n}$ of the symmetric group of order $n$ with the alternating group of order $n$

and so on.
