List of small groups
This is a list of small finite mathematical groups. For each order, all groups of that order up to group isomorphism are listed.
The notation G × H stands for the direct product of the two groups.

The group theoretical computer algebra system GAP (available for free at http://www.gap-system.org/ ) contains the "Small Groups library": it provides access to descriptions of the groups of "small" order. The groups are listed up to isomorphism. At present, the library contains the following groups:
It contains explicit descriptions of the available groups in computer readable format.
The library has been constructed and prepared by Hans Ulrich Besche, Bettina Eick and Eamonn O'Brien; see http://www.tu-bs.de/~hubesche/small.html .
