DESCRIPTION:We describe the complete\, computational solution of an enduri
 ng problem in linear group theory. Specifically\, we describe the classifi
 cation of the finite irreducible monomial groups of prime degree (over the
  complex numbers). An exhaustive and self-contained solution of this probl
 em has been obtained for all such solvable groups\, and for all such group
 s of reasonably small degree (say\, at most 23). We note obstacles that pr
 event a full solution of the problem for non-solvable groups in arbitrary 
 prime degree. <br> <br> This is joint work with Zolt\\&#39\;an B\\&#39\;ac
 skai and Eamonn O&#39\;Brien.
