Synopsis:

The goal of computational geometry is analysis and design of efficient algorithms for determining properties and relations of geometric entities. The lecture focuses on geometric search, point location, convex hull construction for sets of points in d-dimensional space, searching nearest neighbor points, computing intersection of polygonal areas, geometry of parallelograms. New directions in algorithmic design. Computational geometry is applied not only in geometric applications, but also in common database searching problems.

Requirements:

Knowledge of Fundamental sorting and searching algorithms. Linear algebra and fundamentals of computer graphics are advantageous. Programming in C++.

Study Objective:

The course is an informal continuation of fundamental data structures and algorithms courses. You will learn geometric algorithms and data structures allowing for effective computations, e.g., localization of area hit by a ray, computation of intersections and triangulation. You will train presentation and professional discussion skills on the seminars. All of it should not be missing in knowledge of educated progressive Master of Science.
