The main feature of this appendix is Table A6.1 which lists the twenty-six sporadic simple groups. Most of the information is taken directly from the corresponding tables in [37, pp. 172-176] and [65, p. 709].
As the table clearly shows, about the only items in complete agreement are the group orders. We have taken the dates of discovery from [65] as they indicate dates of initial discovery and not necessarily of the completed proof. The superscripts at the end of the discoverer(s’) name(s) are used whenever there was a discrepancy. These correspond to the cited references.
Table A6.1 appears on pages 212–215.
