Discrete Geometry is the kind of area in which problems can be quickly expressed and understood by a wide audience, as usually only elementary geometry is involved. This long-awaited book is based on William O.J. Moser's problem collection that has been circulating in the community for many years. The authors state a much extended variety of problems. For each problem they provide the historical background and give comprehensive references. The book will be of great value to any graduate student and researcher in discrete geometry.Bernard Chazelle (Princeton University): "This will be a terrific book. I've had drafts of it over the years, and I can't wait to have the final version. It will be extremely popular in the discrete geometry community (where the authors are undisputed leaders). This project has my highest recommendation." Joel Spencer (NYU): "- Pach has that wonderful "Hungarian" sense of problem posing and solving. ' This is a very exciting project'"

This book is a collection of more than 500 attractive open problems in the field. The largely self-contained chapters provide a broad overview of discrete geometry, along with historical details and the most important partial results related to these problems.

Our own tables (on pages 134-142) deal with groups of low order, finite and infinite groups of congruent transformations, symmetric and alternating groups, linear fractional groups, and groups generated by reflections in real Euclidean space of any number of dimensions.

When we began to consider the scope of this book, we envisaged a catalogue supplying at least one abstract definition for any finitely generated group that the reader might propose. But we soon realized that more or less arbitrary restrictions are necessary, because interesting groups are so numerous. For permutation groups of degree 8 or less (i. e., subgroups of e ), the reader cannot do better than consult the 8 tables of JosEPHINE BuRNS (1915), while keeping an eye open for misprints. Our own tables (on pages 134-143) deal with groups of low order, finiteandinfinite groups of congruent transformations, symmetric and alternating groups, linear fractional groups, and groups generated by reflections in real Euclidean space of any number of dimensions. The best substitute foramoreextensive catalogue is the description (in Chapter 2) of a method whereby the reader can easily work out his own abstract definition for almost any given finite group. This method is sufficiently mechanical for the use of an electronic computer. There is also a topological method (Chapter 3), suitable not only for groups of low order but also for some infinite groups. This involves choosing a set of generators, constructing a certain graph (the Cayley diagram or DEHNsehe Gruppenbild), and embedding the graph into a surface. Cases in which the surface is a sphere or a plane are described in Chapter 4, where we obtain algebraically, and verify topologically, an abstract definition for each of the 17 space groups of two-dimensional crystallography.
