Symmetric Generation of Groups: With Applications to many of the Sporadic Finite Simple Groups - Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications
Curtis, Robert T. (University of Birmingham)
This comprehensive text develops the notion of symmetric generation from scratch and goes on to describe how the technique can be used to define and construct many of the sporadic simple groups (including the Mathieu groups, the Janko groups and the Higman-Sims group) in a uniform and accessible way.
