Their intermingling has yielded exciting advances in recent years, yet what has been lacking until now is an undergraduate textbook that bridges the gap between the two.\u003ci\u003e Discrete and Computational Geometry\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to this cutting-edge frontier of mathematics and computer science. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book covers traditional topics such as convex hulls, triangulations, and Voronoi diagrams, as well as more recent subjects like pseudotriangulations, curve reconstruction, and locked chains. It also touches on more advanced material, including Dehn invariants, associahedra, quasigeodesics, Morse theory, and the recent resolution of the Poincaré conjecture. Connections to real-world applications are made throughout, and algorithms are presented independently of any programming language. This richly illustrated textbook also features numerous exercises and unsolved problems.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe essential introduction to discrete and computational geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers traditional topics as well as new and advanced material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures numerous full-color illustrations, exercises, and unsolved problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for sophomores in mathematics, computer science, engineering, or physics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigorous but accessible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn online solutions manual is available (for teachers only).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Satyan L.
