Reference Table

A reference table is a set of pages, arranged usually in book form, containing arrays of (usually) numbers arranged in rows and columns for ease of look-up.

A Cayley table is a technique for describing an algebraic structure (usually a finite group) by putting all the products in a square array:

$\qquad \begin {array} {c|cccc} \circ & a & b & c & d \\ \hline a & a & a & b & a \\ b & b & c & a & d \\ c & d & e & f & a \\ d & c & d & a & b \\ \end {array}$
