History of the CFSG - How Big Is It?

Join Professor Rebecca Waldecker from Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg for an illuminating lecture on the "History of the CFSG - How big is it?" This 96-minute presentation, part of the Modern History of Mathematics (MHM) series, explores the Classification of Finite Simple Groups (CFSG), examining its historical development and scope. Delivered at the Isaac Newton Institute, this mathematical seminar provides valuable insights into one of the most significant achievements in group theory. The lecture offers both historical context and technical analysis suitable for those interested in advanced mathematical concepts and the evolution of mathematical classification systems.
