Abstract
This thesis contains methods of finding new presentations of finite groups, particularly nonabelian simple groups. We have presented several progenitors such as 2^{*8}:Z_4 wr Z_2, 3^{*3}:_m L(2,7), 2^{*4}:[2:2^2], 2^{*11}:D_{11} and many more on which we've found the mathieu group M12 and 2*[M21:2^2] among their homomorphic images. We give the full monomial automorphism groups of Aut(3^{*2}), Aut(3^{*3}), and Aut(5^{*2}). Included is a proof showing that the full monomial automorphism group of Aut(m^{*n}) is isomorphic to U(m) wr S_n. In addition we have constructed the Cayley Diagrams of PGL(2,7), [3 x A_5]:2, 3:[A_6:2], and 2 x [(3 x L(2,11)):2] using the process of double coset enumeration.
