CMSC 754 Computational Geometry

What is the computational geometry method?
In a narrow sense computational geometry is concerned with computing geometric properties of sets of geometric objects in space such as the simple above/below relationship of a given point with re- spect to a given line.
Is computational geometry useful?
Other important applications of computational geometry include robotics (motion planning and visibility problems), geographic information systems (GIS) (geometrical location and search, route planning), integrated circuit design (IC geometry design and verification), computer-aided engineering (CAE) (mesh generation),
Who invented computational geometry?
Computational geometry is a term claimed by a number of different groups.
The term was coined perhaps first by Marvin Minsky in his book “Perceptrons”, which was about pattern recognition, and it has also been used often to describe algorithms for manipulating curves and surfaces in solid modeling.
Analytic Geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies geometric shapes using algebraic equations.
Using algebraic expressions, it is a powerful tool that allows engineers and computer experts to represent and manipulate geometric objects, such as points, lines, curves, and surfaces.
