The essential introduction to discrete and computational geometry—now fully updated and expanded
Discrete and Computational Geometry bridges the theoretical world of discrete geometry with the applications-driven realm of computational geometry, offering a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to this cutting-edge frontier of mathematics and computer science. Beginning with polygons and ending with polyhedra, it explains how to capture the shape of data given by a set of points, from convex hulls and triangulations to Voronoi diagrams, geometric duality, chains, linkages, and alpha complexes. Connections to real-world applications are made throughout, and algorithms are presented independent of any programming language. Now fully updated and expanded, this richly illustrated textbook is an invaluable learning tool for students in mathematics, computer science, engineering, and physics.

Product description
Review
“We 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

About the author

Satyan Linus Devadoss is the Fletcher Jones Professor of Applied Mathematics and Professor of Computer Science at the University of San Diego. Before landing in the west coast, he was a professor of mathematics at Williams College for nearly 15 years, along with holding visiting positions at Stanford, Ohio State, Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Harvey Mudd, Université Nice, and University of California, Berkeley.
An inaugural Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, and recipient of two national teaching awards from the Mathematical Association of America, he has a deep passion to make timeless mathematics timely: from building a 2-ton sculpture for Burning Man, to analyzing the genetics of beer, to painting the cartography of unsolved mathematics. His works and thoughts have appeared in venues such as NPR, the Times of London, the Washington Post, and Forbes, with support over the years from the National Science Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, the John Templeton Foundation, and the Department of Defense.
