Book Overview

Computational geometry emerged from the ?eld of algorithms design and analysis in the late 1970s. It has grown into a recognized discipline with its own journals, conferences, and a large community of active researchers. The success of the ?eld as a research discipline can on the one hand be explained from the beauty of the problems studied and the solutions obtained, and, on the other hand, by the many application domains--computer graphics, geographic information systems (GIS), robotics, and others--in which geometric algorithms play a fundamental role. For many geometric problems the early algorithmic solutions were either slow or dif?cult to understand and implement. In recent years a number of new algorithmic techniques have been developed that improved and simpli?ed many of the previous approaches. In this textbook we have tried to make these modern algorithmic solutions accessible to a large audience. The book has been written as a textbook for a course in computational geometry, but it can also be used for self-study. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Extremely well written

Algorithm books are often quite hard to understand, but this is not the case with this book. The information is very compact so it is a slow read but due to the high quality of the text this is only an advantage. You are never left wondering what the authors might have meant with a certain statement.The book focuses solely on theory, so it presents no real source code (only pseudo-code) which I think is good thing since that...

Lucid and Complete

Compared to other texts on Computational Geometry, like the Preparata / Shamos collection -- this book is simple to read; it's very well written.I cannot understate the clarity of the book; if you try comparing this to other graduate texts on Computational Geometry -- this one blows them away.I think it covers a broad range of topics and covers them well. It is a wealth of algorithms.

Makes for a great class

I taught a class using that book, and I found it an invaluable help as an instructor in presenting the material. Teaching layered range trees and fractional cascading for instance benefits immensely from the detailed pictures of the book. At times, I find the motivation part somewhat stretched, or limited, but always informative for the student, and giving a concrete, hands-on aspect to the topic. The algorithms are almost...

The best computational geometry book!

I also completely disagree with the one-star review below. The "Dutch book" is the clearest, most complete, most up-to-date, best designed, best illustrated computational geometry textbook out there. Some of the material may be a bit advanced for undergraduates (and for those people I would recommend Joe O'Rourke's excellent "Computational Geometry in C"), but for graduate students and other researchers who want to learn...

Buy this book immediately!!!

I completely disagree with the above commentor who evaluates it as a kind of bad book.I can not find any errors in pseudo code, and it's very easy for me to understand and follow. It contains hundreds of figures which help students understand the concepts. The idea is so clear, and followed by good examples. It's also worth reading for all computer scientists and mathematicians who are working on geometry. I highly recommend...
