The classification of the finite simple group represents the combined achievement of approximately 100 finite group theorists, whose work extended from about 1945 until the early 1980s. Aschbacher was undoubtedly the towering leader during the final decade of this endeavor, with a sequence of seminal contributions, astonishing in their depth, breadth and frequency. |
