Finite Group T -- from Wolfram MathWorld

The finite group is one of the three non-Abelian groups of order 12 (out of a total of fives groups of order 12), the other two being the alternating group and the dihedral group . However, it is highly unfortunate that the symbol is used to refer this particular group, since the symbol is also used to denote the point group that constitutes the pure rotational subgroup of the full tetrahedral group and is isomorphic to . Thus, of the three distinct non-Abelian groups of order 12, two different ones are each known as under some circumstances. Extreme caution is therefore needed.
