To anyone interested in reading more about the how the classification of finite simple groups was "discovered" over time (the main families, then each new sporadic group, and finally proving that all of them have indeed been found), I strongly recommend reading the following book: Symmetry and the Monster, by Mark Ronan. It's not so much about the math than the history behind the quest, with took about 50 years to be completed. |
