$\struct {S_n, \circ}$

Let $S_n$ denote the set of permutations on $n$ letters.

Let $\struct {S_n, \circ}$ denote the symmetric group on $S_n$.

Then $\struct {S_n, \circ}$ is referred to as the symmetric group on $n$ letters.

The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\struct {S_n, \circ}\) is \struct {S_n, \circ} .
