Finite Geometry and its Application
From 3 to 14 April 2000, the Socrates Intensive
Course on Finite Geometry and its Applications has been organised
at the University of Ghent in the same spirit as the course
Galois
Geometry and Generalized Polygons, organised in April 1998.
We wish to acknowledge financial support of the following institutes
and associations:
-
Commission of the European Communities; DGXXII - Education, Training
and Youth
-
Ghent University
-
EIDMA (Euler Institute
for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications).

The course has covered the following topics given by experts
in the field.
