Abstract/Summary

This study is an exposition of the article entitled On a Symmetry Criterion for Conjugacy in Finite Groups by W. Jacobson. It is shown that two elements a and b of a finite group G are conjugates if and only if they can be found symmetrically situated relative to the main diagonal of the group table. Moreover, if a and b are conjugate elements of a finite group G with a # b, then there are n/k = r pairs of elements {ui, Vi] in G X G such that uiVi = and viui=b, where n is the order of G, and k is the size of the conjugacy class in G to which a and b belong.
