Description

This module contains a selection of topics in Discrete Mathematics. The motivation is to show how real projective geometry may be generalised to geometries over any field, and then applied, in the case of finite fields, to solve problems in the construction of combinatorial designs and error-correcting codes. Approximately equal emphasis is placed on theory and applications.
