A Fuchsian group G is a discrete group of fractional linear transforms each of which preserve a disc (or half plane). We consider only groups which preserve the unit disc Δ = {z: |z| < 1} and none of whose transforms, except the identity, fix infinity (any Fuchsian group is conjugate to such a group).
