Finite Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometriesby Rene De Vogelaere - arXiv
The purpose of this book is to give an exposition of geometry, from a point of view which complements Klein's Erlangen program. The emphasis is on extending the classical Euclidean geometry to the finite case, but it goes beyond that.
