Abstract: We describe two methods for computing the low-dimensional integral homology of the Mathieu simple groups and use them to make computations such as $$ and $$. One method works via Sylow subgroups. The other method uses a Wythoff polytope and perturbation techniques to produce an explicit free $$-resolution. Both methods apply in principle to arbitrary finite groups.
