The ATLAS of Finite Groups, often simply known as the ATLAS, is a group theory book by John Horton Conway, Robert Turner Curtis, Simon Phillips Norton, Richard Alan Parker and Robert Arnott Wilson (with computational assistance from J. G. Thackray), published in December 1985 by Oxford University Press and reprinted with corrections in 2003 (ISBN 978-0-19-853199-9).
The ATLAS covers all of the sporadic groups and the smaller examples of the infinite families.
[10] The abbreviations by which the authors refer to certain groups, which occasionally differ from those used by some other mathematicians, are known as "ATLAS notation".
[11] The book was reappraised in 1995 in the volume The Atlas of Finite Groups: Ten Years on.
[12] It was the subject of an American Mathematical Society symposium at Princeton University in 2015, whose proceedings were published as Finite Simple Groups: Thirty Years of the Atlas and Beyond.
