Description for Twentieth Anniversary Volume
Paperback. This heavily-illustrated book contains twenty-eight major articles that present a comprehensive picture of the current state of discrete and computational geometry. Many of the articles solve long-outstanding problems in the field. Editor(s): Goodman, Jacob E.; Pach, Janos; Pollack, Richard. Num Pages: 635 pages, 212 black & white illustrations, 7 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBMW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 33. Weight in Grams: 991.
While we were busy putting together the present collection of articles celebrating the twentieth birthday of our journal, Discrete & Computational Geometry, and, in a way, of the ?eld that has become known under the same name, two more years have elapsed. There is no doubt that DCG has crossed the line between childhood and adulthood. By the mid-1980s it became evident that the solution of many algorithmic qu- tions in the then newly emerging ?eld of computational geometry required classical methodsandresultsfromdiscreteandcombinatorialgeometry. Forinstance,visibility and ray shooting problems arising in computer graphics often reduce to Helly-type questions for line transversals; the ... Read more

About . Ed(S): Goodman, Jacob E.; Pach, Janos; Pollack, Richard
Jacob Goodman, Richard Pollack and János Pach are each distinguished professors and authors in their own right, and together they are the pre-eminent founders and editors-in-chief of the journal, Discrete & Computational Geometry. Over the 20 years since the founding of this premiere journal, it has become synonymous with the field of discrete and computational geometry itself.
