Summary
This book contains articles based on talks at the Second International Conference on Finite Geometry and Combinatorics, which took place from 31 May to 6 June 1992, at the Conference center De Ceder in Astene–Deinze, Belgium. There were 76 participants and 52 talks.
There are 35 articles in these proceedings.
The editors, who were also the conference organisers, are grateful for the financial support of the National Fund for Scientific Research (NFWO) of Belgium and of the University of Ghent.
Above all we are grateful to Zita Oost, the conference secretary, and to Ruth Lauwaert, who helped a great deal with the production of the copy.
