CSCI 8324 Computational Geometry
The Computational Geometry taught in this course is derived from classical discrete/combinatorial geometry and modern computer science. Specifically, Computational Geometry is a branch of computer science concerned with the design, analysis, and implementation of efficient algorithms for solving problems by exploiting their geometric structures. Geometric structures are often described in terms of elementary geometric objects such as points, lines, curves, polygons, polyhedra, and surfaces. Computational Geometry is now considered the basis of robotics, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAM and CID), and geographic information systems (GIS).
