The series is aimed specifically at publishing peer-reviewed reviews and contributions presented at conferences, workshops, and international seminars as well as edited volumes commemorating and honoring significant achievements by mathematicians. This content covers various topics within pure and applied mathematics and provides up-to-date coverage of new developments, methods, and applications.

Each volume undergoes peer review using a double-blind reviewing process. Reviewers are asked to judge the validity, significance, and originality of the work. Series editor(s) assess comments and make necessary recommendations to respective book editors and contributing authors.

The series De Gruyter Proceedings in Mathematics is indexed in MathSciNet (Mathematical Reviews) and Scopus.

Klappentext

This volume is the proceedings of a conference on Finite Geometries, Groups, and Computation that took place on September 4-9, 2004, at Pingree Park, Colorado (a campus of Colorado State University). Not accidentally, the conference coincided with the 60th birthday of William Kantor, and the topics relate to his major research areas.

Participants were encouraged to explore the deeper interplay between these fields. The survey papers by Kantor, O'Brien, and Penttila should serve to introduce both students and the broader mathematical community to these important topics and some of their connections while the volume as a whole gives an overview of current developments in these fields.
