Through both formal descriptions and many illustrations, this text presents some of the most important techniques used for constructing combinatorial designs. This edition contains extensive new material on embeddings, directed designs, universal algebraic representations of designs, and intersection properties of designs. It also includes important results in combinatorial designs. INDICE: Steiner Triple Systems. lambda-Fold Triple Systems. Quasigroup Identities and Graph Decompositions. Maximum Packings and Minimum Coverings. Kirkman Triple Systems. Mutually Orthogonal Latin Squares. Affine and Projective Planes. Intersections of Steiner Triple Systems. Embeddings.
