is one of the most spectacular and mysterious mathematical achievements of the past fifty years. Unfortunately the various standard approaches to the Monster are notoriously difficult to learn. This paper presents a relatively elementary approach to the Monster. We describe a construction of the smallest non-Abelian finite simple group (of order 60), and show that it very closely parallels a co...

In addition, it has become identified with a particular expressive format. The limitations of the modern view are illustrated by monster analogies, which show that analogy need not be regarded as something having a single form, format, or semantics. Analog...
