Inthe second chapter all the fundamental notions for this work are given.In the third chapter, definition of nearly linear spaces and samples of these spaces aregiven. It?s also explained how to establish the incident matrix of a nearly linear spaceand linear functions have been examined.In the fourth chapter, Linear spaces have been described. The samples which are wellknown, of linear spaces, Projective planes and Affine planes have been examined. In thelast chapter restricted Linear spaces and the basic features of restricted linear spaces aregiven.2007, 70 pagesKey Words :Linear spaces, Nearly linear spaces, Restricted linear space.iii
