Extract

Introductory. In the following pages a miscellany of information about M12, the Mathieu group of degree 12, is presented, mainly concerning its subgroups. The development is inspired by the work of Coxeter and Todd on the representation of M12 as a group of collineations in PG (5,3)—i.e. five-dimensional projective space over the field of 3 elements.
