The Art of Working with the Mathieu Group M24

Beschreibung

The group M24 leads to the Leech lattice, leading to the largest Conway group, and thence to the Monster group. Every mathematician has heard of these structures; balancing theory and computation, the book explains where they come from, in a manner accessible to advanced undergraduates, research students and senior researchers.
