About this Item

Hardcover. This book combines mathematics (geometry and topology), computer science (algorithms), and engineering (mesh generation) in order to solve the conceptual and technical problems in the combining of elements of combinatorial and numerical algorithms. The book develops methods from areas that are amenable to combination and explains recent breakthrough solutions to meshing that fit into this category. It should be an ideal graduate text for courses on mesh generation. The specific material is selected giving preference to topics that are elementary, attractive, lend themselves to teaching, are useful, and interesting. The book combines topics in mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Mesh generation is a topic where a meaningful combination of these different approaches to problem solving is inevitable. The book should be an ideal graduate text for courses on mesh generation. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
