Kiss, György (Mathematics professor) creator author. Szőnyi, T. text xx Milton CRC Press LLC 2019 monographic eng 1 online resource (347 pages) Finite Geometries stands out from recent textbooks about the subject of finite geometries by having a broader scope. The authors thoroughly explain how the subject of finite geometries is a central part of discrete mathematics. The text is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses. Additionally, it can be used as reference material on recent works. The authors examine how finite geometries' applicable nature led to solutions of open problems in different fields, such as design theory, cryptography and extremal combinatorics. Other areas covered include proof techniques using polynomials in case of Desarguesian planes, and applications in extremal combinatorics, plus, recent material and developments. Features: Includes exercise sets for possible use in a graduate course Discusses applications to graph theory and extremal combinatorics Covers coding theory and cryptography Translated and revised text from the Hungarian published version Finite geometries Combinatorial geometry MATHEMATICS General MATHEMATICS Geometry General MATHEMATICS Combinatorics QA167.2 516.13 9781498721660 1498721664 9781315120072 1315120070 9781351636841 1351636847 9781351646383 1351646389 https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781315120072 http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781315120072 http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf OCoLC-P 190803 20260210180722.0 9781315120072 eng
