Abstract

In this paper we obtain presentations of fundamental groups of the complements of three quadric-line arrangements in ℙ2. The first arrangement is a smooth quadric Q with n tangent lines to Q, and the second one is a quadric Q with n lines passing through a point p∉Q. The last arrangement consists of a quadric Q with n lines passing through a point p∈Q.
