By using the antisymmetry characteristic method implemented in computer programs written in Mathematica 4, from 230 space symmetry groups are derived 1191 Mackay groups of the type M1, 5005 groups of the type M2, 19467 groups of the type M3, 72587 groups of the type M4, 191728 groups of the type M5, and 598752 groups of the type M6. Mackay groups are the minimal representation of Zamorzaev’s mu...
