From the reviews: "This book offers a coherent treatment, at the
graduate textbook level, of the field that has come to be known in the
last decade or so as computational geometry. ... ... The book is well
organized and lucidly written; a timely contribution by two founders of
the field. It clearly demonstrates that computational geometry in the
plane is now a fairly well-understood branch of computer science and
mathematics. It also points the way to the solution of the more
challenging problems in dimensions higher than two." #Mathematical
Reviews#1 "... This remarkable book is a comprehensive and systematic
study on research results obtained especially in the last ten years. The
very clear presentation concentrates on basic ideas, fundamental
combinatorial structures, and crucial algorithmic techniques. The plenty
of results is clever organized following these guidelines and within the
framework of some detailed case studies. A large number of figures and
examples also aid the understanding of the material. Therefore, it can
be highly recommended as an early graduate text but it should prove also
to be essential to researchers and professionals in applied fields of
computer-aided design, computer graphics, and robotics." #Biometrical
