Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss some of the basic results from design theory. The main focus will be the study of symmetric designs and the construction of Steiner triple systems. Design theory is however much broader than this. The reader who also wants to learn about other topics might consult other handbooks on design theory like [2, 87, 97, 135]. An extensive treatment of design theory can be found in the books [11, 12, 44].
