The Hunt for Nonabelian Simple Groups: Part 3 - Groups of Order (2^n)p: 12, 56
Channel: Andrew Misseldine
Date: 2022-01-20

In this video, we continue our discussion of possible orders of nonabelian simple groups less than 60. We are able to rule out any group whose order is a product of a power of 2 and a prime p when p+1=2^n.
