Download or read book Twentieth Anniversary Volume: Discrete & Computational Geometry written by Jacob E. Goodman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-02 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commemorative book contains the 28 major articles that appeared in the 2008 Twentieth Anniversary Issue of the journal Discrete & Computational Geometry, and presents a comprehensive picture of the current state of the field. The articles in this volume, a number of which solve long-outstanding problems in the field, were chosen by the editors of DCG for the importance of their results, for the breadth of their scope, and to show the intimate connections that have arisen between discrete and computational geometry and other areas of both computer science and mathematics. Apart from the articles, the editors present an expanded preface, along with a set of photographs of groups and individuals who have played a major role in the history of the field during the past twenty years.
