[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]
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.
