ATLAS of Finite Groups by J H Conway

This atlas covers groups from the families of the classification of finite simple groups. Recently updated incorporating corrections
"..an extremely interesting and useful purchase for any mathematician involved in the study of finite simple groups." Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society

John H. Conway is the John von Neumann Chair of Mathematics at Princeton University. He obtained his BA and his PhD from the University of Cambridge (England). He is a prolific mathematician active in the theory of finite groups, knot theory, number theory, combinatorial game theory, and coding theory. He has also contributed to many branches of recreational mathematics, notably the invention of the Game of Life.
