Mathematical Sciences: Finite Simple Groups and Revisionism

这个项目是1988年3月在罗格斯大学举行的一次会议。研究会议的目的是探索理解有限群的数学结构的新方法。特别地，重点将涉及有限简单群的分类定理的证明的澄清和缩短。这个分类定理大约有10,000页长。除了基金会的资金外，罗格斯大学将为本次会议提供大量支持。群是数学、物理和化学中的基本代数对象。有限群的组成部分是有限单群。

This project is a conference to be held at Rutgers University in March 1988. The purpose of the research meeting is to explore new approaches to the understanding of the mathematical structure of finite groups. In particular, the focus will involve a clarification and shortening of the proof of the classification theorem of finite simple groups. This classification theorem is approximately 10,000 pages in length. In addition to Foundation funds, Rutgers University will contribute substantial support for this meeting. A group is a fundamental algebraic object in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The building blocks of finite groups are the finite simple groups.
