a) List the points and lines in \(A P\left(\mathbf{Z}_{3}\right)\). How many parallel classes are there for this finite geometry? What are the parameters for the associated balanced incomplete block design? b) List the points and lines for the projective plane that arises from \(A P\left(Z_{3}\right)\). Determine
Determine all polynomials \(f(x) \in \mathbf{Z}_{2}[x]\) such that \(1 \leq\) degree \(f(x) \leq 3\) and \(f(x)\) is irreducible (over \(\mathbf{Z}_{2}\) ).
\text { Construct a finite field of } 25 \text { elements. }
A \((v, b, r, k, \lambda)\)-design is called a triple system if \(k=3\). When \(k=3\) and \(\lambda=1\) we call the design a Steiner triple system. a) Prove that in every triple system, \(\lambda(v-1)\) is even and \(\lambda v(v-1)\) is divisible by \(6 .\) b) Prove that in every Steiner triple system, \(v\) is congruent to 1 or 3 modulo \(6 .\)
