2020 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 20-XX [MSN][ZBL]

The group $\langle 5,3,2 \rangle$ abstractly presented as: $$ \langle A,B \ |\ A^5=B^3=(AB)^2 \rangle \ . $$ It is finite of order 120. It occurs as a subgroup of the unit quaternions.

The group has an action on the three-sphere with dodecahedral space as quotient.
