Description
This volume brings together selected works of professor J.J. Seidel, one of the most influential contemporary mathematicians. His ideas on elliptic geometry, codes, distance sets and strongly regular graphs have had an enormous impact on the mathematical community. For the first time his papers, many of which are scattered throughout obscure conference proceedings, are gathered in this single volume. The volume has four sections - graphs and designs, lines with few angles, matrices and forms and non-euclidean geometry. Professor Seidel has written introductions to each of these sections, placing the work in context and indicating new lines of research.
