Jul 18, 2010 at 13:53 comment added Jim Humphreys This kind of classification isn't in principle neat or simple; eventually it also depends on knowing what the finite simple groups are. Probably the most useful recent textbook source is the 1999 LMS Student Text (Cambridge) Permutation Groups by Peter J. Cameron.
Jul 18, 2010 at 13:45 comment added Steve D I believe Robinson's Group Theory book does the solvable case and, modulo the CFSG, Cameron's "Permutation Groups" does the non-solvable case. I can't check either of these right now, though, so I could be remembering wrong.
Jul 18, 2010 at 13:06 comment added Klim Efremenko I also want a proof for this classification. Do you know if there exist some simple source explaining it?
Jul 18, 2010 at 12:41 comment added Torsten Ekedahl Solvable groups are classical and non-solvable groups were classified by Hering (using the classification of finite simple, which is guess is OK by now). See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-transitive_group for reference.
