Review text

This chapter in the book `Some tapas of computer algebra' is an extended project containing numerous exercises, designed to lead the student to a construction of the `small' Mathieu groups \(M_{11}\) and \(M_{12}\), and the group \(2\cdot M_{12}:2\). It illustrates nicely many of the techniques which have been used at a research level in much larger applications, as well as performing the useful function of introducing the student to the intriguing world of the sporadic simple groups, without being too overwhelming. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0924.13021].
