Gregory Taylor Introduction The origins of combinatorial design theory lie within recreational mathematics. With the work of Fisher and Yates in the 1930s it began to take on the character of a serious academic subject with deep connections to linear algebra, group theory, and number theory; there are applications to statistical experimentation, tournament scheduling, mathematical biology, algorithm design and analysis, and cryptography. The basic notion is that of a design, whereby one intends a pair (X, A) with X any set of elements (or points) and A any multiset of nonempty subsets of X (termed blocks). (If A is a set, then (X,
