About this title

Synopsis

This atlas covers groups from the families of the classification of finite simple groups. Recently updated incorporating corrections

Review

"The monumental classification of finite simple groups, which occupies some 15,000 pages spread over 500 journal articles, is now complete, and the complete list of the finite simple groups has attracted wide interest....This Atlas brings together detailed information about these groups--their construction, character tables, maximal subgroups, and more....The prefatory material is as clear and as concise an introduction to the classification as one will find."--Choice

"At last, an official collection of character tables and related information about many finite simple groups has appeared in book form. This information is important to specialists in finite group theory and the volume contains neatly presented instructional material which the nonspecialists can appreciate....The book is attractive....The price is extremely fair....The mathematics community (and physics community) should be grateful to the creators of the Atlas for their extremely fine service. An appreciation and use of the finite simple groups might be expected to spread noticeably faster as a result." --Mathematical Reviews
