A textbook which introduces undergraduates to the design of geometry algorithms, which arise in a range of practical areas such as computer graphics, robotics and pattern recognition. The basic techniques used in computational geometry are covered - polygon triangulations and so on.

About this title

Review

"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

Book Description

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.
