(Continued) J. H. Conway in 1971 discussed the role of an elementary abelian group of order 16 in the Mathieu group M24. His approach at that time was purely algebraic,…

The following may help show why R.T. Curtis calls his approach to sporadic groups symmetric generation— (Click to enlarge.) Related material— Yesterday's Symmetric Generation Illustrated.
R.T. Curtis in a 1990 paper* discussed his method of "symmetric generation" of groups as applied to the Mathieu groups M 12 and M 24. See Finite Relativity…
