   hey, anyone knows what kind of set the following symbol represents?
   
   Zm (Z with subscription m, where Z is the set of whole numbers and m a positive integer).
   
   thanks alot.

   [tex]Z_m = \{0, 1, 2, \ldots, m-1\}[/tex]
   
   for example,
   [tex]Z_2 = \{0, 1\}[/tex]
   [tex]Z_3 = \{0, 1, 2\}[/tex]
   [tex]Z_4 = \{0, 1, 2, 3\}[/tex]

   With addition and multiplication defined mod m (Z_m is not just a set).
   
   Warning: notation is ambiguous. I have also seen this used to mean the m-adic integers.
