Order of Symmetric Group/Examples/Degree 3

Example of Order of Symmetric Group
Let $S = \set {1, 2, 3}$.

There are $3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6$ permutations on $S$:


 * $\begin{bmatrix}

1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \qquad \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \qquad \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$


 * $\begin{bmatrix}

1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \qquad \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \qquad \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

and so $\struct {\Gamma \paren S, \circ}$ has $6$ elements.
