The book provides an outline and modern overview of the classification of the finite simple groups. It primarily covers the ""even case"", where the main groups arising are Lie-type (matrix) groups over a field of characteristic 2. The book thus completes a project begun by Dani…

"This book provides the first representation theoretic and algorithmic approach to the theory of abstract finite simple groups. - Together with the cyclic groups of prime order the finite simple groups are the building blocks of all finite groups. The theory presented here is bu…
