Description
The subject of this book is the action of permutation groups on sets associated with combinatorial structures.
Each chapter deals with a particular structure: groups, geometries, designs, graphs and maps respectively.
A unifying theme for the first four chapters is the construction of finite simple groups.
In the fifth chapter, a theory of maps on orientable surfaces is developed within a combinatorial framework.
This simplifies and extends the existing literature in the field.
The book is designed both as a course text and as a reference book for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
A feature is the set of carefully constructed projects, intended to give the reader a deeper understanding of the subject.
