Discrete and Computational Geometry

Zusatztext "[W]e recommend this book for an undergraduate course on computational geometry. In fact, we hope to use this book ourselves when we teach such a class." ---Brittany Terese Fasy and David L. Millman, SigAct News Informationen zum Autor Satyan L. Devadoss & Joseph O'Rourke Klappentext "This book is ideal for people who want to learn about the topic without wading too deeply into technical details. I really like the figures, and the writing style is very nice for students, with frequent jumps into exercises. The book favors topics that are intuitive, engaging, and easily grasped. It could form the basis of an excellent undergraduate-level course for students in computer science, applied mathematics, and pure mathematics." --Samir Khuller, University of Maryland "I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It covers an incredibly diverse set of topics, ranging from elementary objects to deep mathematical concepts and important computational problems. Devadoss and O'Rourke have done a remarkable job of showing off the rich interplay between pure mathematics and computing that drives our research community. There really is nothing else like this on the market." --Jeff Erickson, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Zusammenfassung Offers a comprehensive introduction to discrete geometry. This book covers traditional topics such as convex hulls, triangulations, and Voronoi diagrams, as well as subjects like pseudotriangulations, curve reconstruction, and locked chains. It is suitable for sophomores in mathematics, computer science, engineering, or physics.
