Abstract

In Project 6 we have encountered a way to construct groups via a permutation representation. In the early seventies this has been one of the main tools in constructing sporadic simple groups. However, the permutation representations of the large sporadic simple groups like the so-called Monster and Baby-Monster have too high degree to put them on a computer, see the Atlas [1]. For these groups one has to use different methods. Many of these large sporadic simple groups, including the Monster (see [4]), have been constructed as a matrix group. In this project we will show by means of a small example how one may proceed to construct a group as a matrix group.
