"Unable to operate under its own power, the GSC Light-Destroyer Perry is to be transported back to Earth for necessary repairs. A Board of Inquiry will conduct an investigation into the events that transpired along the Clidepp Border. Lieutenant (jg) Sydnee Marcola has acquitted herself with honor and distinction, but she fears the Board may not appreciate some of the tactics she employed in carrying out her duty. As the Perry nears Earth, rebels fighting the Clidepp Empire oligarchy are making plans for a terrorist attack. Greatly disturbed by the Galactic Alliance's intervention into their affairs, they decide retribution is in order. That they were performing illegal acts inside GA space is immaterial. They feel the GA must pay for sticking its nose into their business, and the GA Trade Conference provides the perfect opportunity for payback. When the event is bombed, all evidence points to the rebels, but the Clidepp Empire refuses to take any action against identified suspects, so a decision is made by the Admiralty Board to take matters into their own hands."--Provided from Amazon.com

Originally published in 1981, this collection of 33 research papers follows from a conference on the interwoven themes of finite Desarguesian spaces, Steiner systems, coding theory, group theory, block designs, generalized quadrangles, and projective planes. There is a comprehensive introduction, which aims to interest the non-specialist in the subject and which indicates how the contributions fit together. This is a field of research pursued both for its intrinsic interest and its applications. These papers include a number of open problems whose statement requires very little mathematical sophistication.

This book is designed for a first course in real analysis which follows the standard course in elementary calculus. Since many students encounter rigorous mathematical theory for the first time in this course, the authors include such elementary topics as the axioms of algebra and their immediate consequences and proofs of theorems on limits. The pace is deliberately slow, the proofs are detailed. The emphasis of the presentation is on theory, but the books also contains a full treatment (with many illustrative examples and exercises) of the standard topics in infinite series, Fourier series, multidimensional calculus, elements of metric spaces, and vector field theory. There are many problems which require the student to learn techniques of proofs and the standard tools of analysis. -- Back cover.
