Computation

 /*Use the ApCoCoA package ncpoly.*/
  
  Use ZZ/(2)[a,b,c];
  NC.SetOrdering("LLEX");
  
   Define CreateRelationsMathieuM22()
    Relations:=[];
    
     // add the relation a^2 = 1
    Append(Relations,[[a,a],[1]]);
    // add the relation b^4 = 1
    Append(Relations,[[b,b,b,b],[1]]);
    
    //add the relation (ab)^11 = 1
    Append(Relations,  [[a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b],[1]]);
    
    //add the relation (ab^2)^5 = 1
    Append(Relations,[[a,b,b,a,b,b,a,b,b,a,b,b,a,b,b],[1]]);
    
    //add the relation [a,bab]^3=1
    // the commutator of [a,bab] is a,b,a,b,b^3,a,b^3
    Append(Relations,[[a,b,a,b,b,b,b,a,b,b,b,a,b,a,b,b,b,b,a,b,b,b,a,b,a,b,b,b,b,a,b,b,b],[1]]);
 
    //add the relation (ababab^-1)^5 = 1
