About the Authors
  • This is a collection of thirty-five articles, covering topics such as finite projective spaces, generalized polygons, strongly regular graphs, diagram geometries, and polar spaces. Contained here are articles from many of the leading practitioners in the field including, for the first time, several distinguished Russian mathematicians. Many of the papers contain important new results and the growing use of computer algebra packages in this area is also demonstrated.

    • Only selected papers from the meeting are included
    • Expert
    • A topic with many applications, from telephones to CD players
