In mathematics, a Janko group is one of the four sporadic simple groups named for Zvonimir Janko. Janko constructed the first Janko group J1 in 1965. At the same time, Janko also predicted the existence of J2 and J3. In 1976, he suggested the existence of J4. J2, J3, and J4 were all later shown to exist.

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“If the Russians have gone too far in subjecting the child and his peer group to conformity to a single set of values imposed by the adult society, perhaps we have reached the point of diminishing returns in allowing excessive autonomy and in failing to utilize the constructive potential of the peer group in developing social responsibility and consideration for others.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
