It seems that a reference to the website of Alan Offer at Ghent University, "Finite Geometry Web," [1], is in order. I have added an external link to that site. Cullinane 01:59, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Symmetry group of Fano plane

The 168 symmetries of the Fano plane play a significant role in mathematics. Hence I have added a paragraph linking to a discussion of these symmetries. That discussion is my own. For some background, see other discussions of mine on finite geometry cited at Alan Offer's compilation [2] of online finite geometry notes at Ghent University.

Finite number of points

You are defining finite geometry as the system of finite number of points.How can you define a line with finite number of points while we know that a line is topologically equvalent to the interval[0,1].Threrfore finite geometry cannot hve lines.Please comment. [B.R.Ivan,BARC,India,3 January 2006]
