“1982, Trevor Evans, Finite Representations of Two-variable Identities, E. Mendelsohn, Algebraic and Geometric Combinatorics, North-Holland, page 135, It is part of the folklore of algebraic combinatorics that “most' two-variable groupoid identities have non-trivial models in finite fields, the groupoid operation being represented by a linear function ax+by.”

“This volume arose through the initiative of Kluwer Academic Publishers in an attempt to introduce some areas of research in algebraic combinatorics which originally appeared in Russian to a wider mathematical community.”

“This book is intended primarily as a one-semester undergraduate text for a course in algebraic combinatorics.[…]Algebraic combinatorics is a huge subject, so some selection process was necessary to obtain the present text.”
