	Encyclopedia: Classification of finite simple groups
		In mathematics, a cyclic group is a group that can be generated by a single element, in the sense that the group has an element a (called a generator of the group) such that every element of the group is a power of a.
		In mathematics, the unitary group of degree n over the field F (which is either the field R of real numbers or the field C of complex numbers) is the group of n by n unitary matrices with entries from F, with the group operation that of matrix multiplication.
		Finite groups The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and education, which it does with various publications and conferences as well as annual monetary awards to mathematicians.

	Finite group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some aspects of the theory of finite groups were investigated in great depth in the twentieth century, in particular the local theory, and the theory of solvable groups and nilpotent groups.
		Finite groups are directly relevant to symmetry, when that is restricted to a finite number of transformations.
		In this way, finite groups and their properties can enter centrally in questions, for example in theoretical physics, where their role is not initially obvious.

	Classification of finite simple groups - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The classification of the finite simple groups is a vast body of work in mathematics, mostly published between around 1955 and 1983, which is thought to classify all of the finite simple groups.
		Gorenstein announced the classification of finite simple groups in 1983, based partly on the impression that the quasithin case was finished.
		In contrast, during the original proof, nobody knew how many sporadic groups there were, and in fact some of the sporadic groups (for example, the Janko groups) were discovered in the process of trying to prove cases of the classification theorem.

	Classification of finite simple groups by Aschbacher
		The Status of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups:
		Finite simple groups have a special significance in mathematics as the "building blocks" for all finite groups, in much the same way that the prime numbers are the "building blocks" for the integers.
		The problem of classifying all finite simple groups comes down to proving that they fall into four distinct classes: groups of prime order, alternating groups, groups of Lie type, and sporadic groups (of which there are 26).

		The finite simple groups, namely those which have no nontrivial normal subgroups, are the building blocks for all finite groups.
		Thus it is important to have a deep understanding of properties of the finite simple groups.
		The bulk of the finite simple groups are the groups of Lie type, and for these groups there are fruitful ways of applying the work on algebraic groups outlined above.

		Abstract: All finite groups are made up of simple ones, much like the way that all integers are made up of primes.
		The classification of all finite simple groups, which started with Galois (who introduced this notion, as well as the notion of groups in general), was completed during the second half of the 20th century; this is possibly the most difficult theorem in mathematics.

		The theorem has widespread applications in many branches of applications, as questions about finite groups can often be reduced to questions aboutfinite simple groups, which by the classification can be reduced toan enumeration of cases.
		Because of the extreme length of the proof of the classification of finitesimple groups, there has been a lot of work (led by Daniel Gorenstein)in trying to find a simpler proof.
		One reason that some mathematicians believe that a simpler proof ispossible is that the result to be proved is known, which was not the case for the earlier proof.
