I try to keep this series focussed on the symmetric groups, but it means not going down so many interesting byways!

“The symmetric group is almost simple; the analysis has been extended to other almost simple groups, and especially to simple groups…There is a lot to be said here, but it is a bit off-topic, so I will pass on. ”

If there’s a lot to be said and here is not the place to say it, then where should the interested reader look???
