Description
Computational geometry has evolved into a distinct field of research and application since its emergence in the late 1970s. This discipline has grown significantly, with its own journals, conferences, and a large community of active researchers. Geometric algorithms play a fundamental role in various domains, including computer graphics, geographic information systems (GIS), robotics, and others. In recent years, new algorithmic techniques have been developed to improve and simplify many previous approaches. This textbook aims to make these modern solutions accessible to a wide audience. Written for a course in computational geometry, the book can also be used for self-study. The book provides an overview of the field, covering both the beauty of the problems studied and their practical applications. It offers a comprehensive introduction to modern algorithmic techniques, making it an ideal resource for those looking to understand and work with geometric algorithms.
