what has the i^k function got to do with rotational symmetries of the square?
"Find the value of 159 in Z_9" This one is too ecliptic to be standing on its own, but what connection has it got with multiplying permutations? there's no "Z" in the brackets...
I want to prove a point here, but this many "big" english words make my head spin!

I gave you two rather common groups, and anyone who's had a course in this kind of material would know the connection between these two groups. You either know it or you don't.
ps: i is the square root of -1. Just to clarify.
"Find the value of 159 in Z_9" This one is too ecliptic to be standing on its own, but what connection has it got with multiplying permutations? there's no "Z" in the brackets...
They're two separate problems, silly. That's why they don't have too much to do with each other.
Do you know what Z_9 is? Asking the value of an integer in Z_9 is not too "ecliptic" (wtf??) to be standing on its own, it's a perfectly valid question with a pretty damned solid answer.
...You do know all the areas of mathematics I listed before, right? You weren't terribly specific when you said "those beasts" so I assumed it all of the above...If you don't understand what I typed then it's not a matter of knowing English, it's a matter of not knowing upper-level university mathematics.
