"It teaches the subject with the care and precision one hopes to find in the best colleges and universities. The development of the material is well placed, self-contained, and wonderfully motivated. The explanations flow at an unhurried pace and account for most any question one might have when meeting the subject for the first time....Teaching a course from this book must be a distinct pleasure." Christoph M. Hoffmann, SIAM Review ."..very clearly written and manages to make traditionally difficult-to-explain topics such as point-line duality very understandable...includes interesting exercises that range from straightforward applications of the material to the more difficult and thought-provoking questions to open problems...conveys the feeling that computational geometry is interesting, exciting, important, and very active." Scot Drysdale, SIGACT News
This is the revised and expanded 1998 edition of a popular tutorial on the design and implementation of geometry algorithms. The self-contained treatment presumes only an elementary knowledge of mathematics but includes the latest research topics, making it an excellent resource for programmers in computer graphics, robotics, and engineering design.
