Product Description: This book provides the first representation theoretic and algorithmic approach to the theory of abstract finite simple groups. It presents self-contained proofs of classical and new group order formulas, and a new structure theorem for abstract finite simple groups...read more

Product Description: This book presents material from 3 survey lectures and 14 additional invited lectures given at the Euroconference "Computational Methods for Representations of Groups and Algebras" held at Essen University in April 1997. The purpose of this meeting was to provide a survey of general theoretical and computational methods and recent advances in the representation theory of groups and algebras...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: From April 1, 1984 until March 31, 1991 the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft has sponsored the project "Representation Theory of Finite Groups and Finite Di­ mensional Algebras". The proposal for this project was submitted by B. Huppert (Mainz), B...read more
