Can one set up a multiplication table for the symmetry group C3V of the equilateral
triangle.
Then show that it is identical to that of the permutation group P3.

I need some clarification...


What about a matrix representation (2x2) for these groups?
→ Here was thinking to use Cartesian coordinate
system in the xy plane, with origin at the center of the triangle.
