โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we use the ideas developed in [Curtis, 1990] and [Curtis, 1993] to give a new elementary construction of the Higman-Sims group. The 176 point geometry found by Higman emerges naturally, complete with permutations on the 176 points plus 176 quadrics which generate (H S: 2). In addition, the permutation action of (H S: 2) on 100 points, with point stabilizer (M_{22}: 2), is an easy by-product of this approach. 1995 Academic Press. Inc.

Algorithms and codes based on the method of Schur functions and Frobenius' theorem are used to generate the character tables of the symmetric groups (S, ) containing n! elements. The codes developed can generate characters of S, up to n = 20.
