[edit] Symmetric and alternating groups

I found some constructions in Matzat and Malle (1999), and more in Jensen, Ledet, and Yui (2002), but I would like to see the original source. I looked up Hilbert's paper some 30 years ago and I seem to remember that Adolf Hurwitz was also somehow involved. Rice University has a way of sequestering its older books in storage and it takes some effort to get access to them. Scott Tillinghast, Houston TX (talk) 01:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
