Extract

In this paper we classify the maximal subgroups of the smallest Fischer group Fi22, which is a simple group of order 64561 751 654 400 = 217. 39. 52. 7. 11. 13. Although this is not a complete classification into conjugacy classes, it is for most practical purposes almost as good, since the exceptional cases are very small groups.
