Description
The Finite Simple Groups by Robert Wilson provides an overview of all non-abelian finite simple groups in one volume. This monumental task builds upon decades of research, including the proof of the Classi?cation Theorem for Finite Simple Groups, which was completed with the publication of two volumes by Aschbacher and Smith in 2004. The book is structured around four basic types of these groups: alternating, classical, exceptional, and sporadic. For those interested in per- tation groups, Wilson's work draws upon classic texts such as Wielandt and more modern introductions like Dixon and Mortimer. By covering all aspects of non-abelian finite simple groups, this volume offers a comprehensive resource for students and researchers alike.
