The Monster group, denoted as \\( \\mathbb\{M\} \\) or sometimes \\( \\text\{Mon\} \\), is the largest of the 26 sporadic simple groups in group theory, a branch of mathematics that studies algebraic structures known as groups. It was first discovered by Robert Griess in 1982 and has a rich structure that connects various areas of mathematics, including number theory, geometry, and mathematical physics.
