Workshop: Projective and Polar Geometry

The Institute for Geometry and its Applications, the University of Adelaide, is hosting a Finite Geometry Workshop during the week 11-15 January 1999.

The purpose of this workshop is to identify and further investigate techniques that have recently proved fruitful in obtaining results in finite projective and polar geometry. We will discuss open problems in the context of these and other techniques. There is no registration fee, and all interested are welcome. Please feel free to circulate this announcement.
