Thisbookisintendedasanintroductiontoallthe?nitesimplegroups.During
themonumentalstruggletoclassifythe?nitesimplegroups(andindeedsince),
a huge amount of information about these groups has been
accumulated.
Conveyingthisinformationtothenextgenerationofstudentsandresearchers,
not to mention those who might wish to apply this knowledge, has
become a major challenge. With the publication of the two volumes
by Aschbacher and Smith [12, 13] in 2004 we can reasonably regard
the proof of the Classi?cation Theorem for Finite Simple Groups
(usually abbreviated CFSG) as complete. Thus it is timely to
attempt an overview of all the (non-abelian) ?nite simple groups in
one volume. For expository purposes it is convenient to divide them
into four basic types, namely the alternating, classical,
exceptional and sporadic groups. The study of alternating groups
soon develops into the theory of per- tation groups, which is well
served by the classic text of Wielandt [170]and more modern
treatments such as the comprehensive introduction by Dixon and
Mortimer [53] and more specialised texts such as that of Cameron
[19].
