   Format: MarkdownItexOn the [[orthogonal group]] page, there is a table of $\pi_i(SO(n))$ for $1 \leq i \leq 12$ and $2 \leq n \leq 12$. The reference given is the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Mathematics which actually has a table which goes up to $i = 15$ and $n = 17$. In a comment to my last [MO question](https://mathoverflow.net/q/296088/21564), David Roberts suggested that I add these additional groups to the table. I am happy to do this, but as the person who created the table used the same resource, they made a decision to stop at $i = 12$ and $n = 12$; maybe there was a good reason for this. Should I expand the table or is it fine as is?
