Atlas of finite groups

The Atlas of finite groups is a comprehensive reference that catalogs information about all known finite groups—mathematical objects representing symmetry and structure, such as those in molecular chemistry or geometry. It provides detailed descriptions, classifications, character tables, and properties for these groups, especially focusing on complex and large ones like sporadic groups. Think of it as an encyclopedia for mathematicians studying symmetry, helping them identify, compare, and analyze finite groups systematically. The Atlas serves as a foundational resource in abstract algebra, facilitating research and deepening understanding of the building blocks of symmetry in mathematics and science.
