| Abstract: | The conjugacy classes of finite groups play an important role in the representation theory of those groups, and it is useful to be able to compute the conjugacy classes quickly. A procedure is developed and then implemented with Mathematica to discover these conjugacy classes. The computations make use of the Cayley table in its regular form for the group. The conjugacy classes for C4v, the point symmetry group of the square, are displayed. |
