Classification Algorithms for Codes and Designs

A new starting-point and a new method are requisite, to insure a complete [classification of the Steiner triple systems of order 15]. This method was furnished, and its tedious and difficult execution und- taken, by Mr. Cole. F. N. Cole, L. D. Cummings, and H. S. White (1917) [129] The history of classifying combinatorial objects is as old as the history of the objects themselves. In the mid-19th century, Kirkman, Steiner, and others became the fathers of modern combinatorics, and their wor...
