Twelve Sporadic Groups

The finite simple groups come in several infinite families (alternating groups and the group of Lie type) plus 26 sporadic groups. A leisurely and rigorous study of two of three generations of sporadic groups is the purpose of the book. The level is suitable for graduate students with little background in general finite group theory, established mathematicians and mathematical physicists.
