  1. I'm reading a paper currently that uses three groups; the cyclic groups of order 3, 5, and 11. It represents an element from C3 as (c, 0, 0) an element from C5 as (0, c, 0) and an element from C11 as (0, 0, c). What is the motivation for representing the elements like this? i can understand that it is easier for calculations but if someone asked me why you can represent each element as a vector i would not be able to explain why you are allowed to that.
