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 clea...
Since the 2000 presidential election, the United States has been embroiled in debates about electronic voting. Critics say the new technologies invite tampering and fraud. Advocates say they enhance the accuracy of vote counts and make casting ballots easier--and ultimately foster greater political participation. Electronic Elections cuts through the media spin to assess the advantages and risks associated with different ways of casting ballots--and shows how e-voting can be the future of American democracy. Elections by nature are fraught with risk. Michael Alvarez and Thad Hall fully examine the range of past methods and the new technologies that have been created to try to minimize risk a...
Contains information on billiards, pool, snooker and all associated games with anecdotes.
A complete reference guide to the rules, equipment, and terminology of billiards and all associated cue games.
Corky and Norm are excited to host Gerald and Laura at their home in the valley outside Los Angeles to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower. But as the stars come out and the conversation gets rolling, it becomes clear that Gerald and Laura might not be all that they appear to be. Over the course of a crazy, starlit dinner party, the wildly unexpected occurs. The couples begin to flirt and insanity reigns. Martin, using his trademark absurdist humor, bends the fluid nature of time and reality to create a surprising and unforgettably funny new play.
An instruction manual for cue games covers the fundamentals of each game, specific shots and techniques, keys to winning, and trick shots.
A photographic record of the game of pool, with essays that profile some of the hustlers and stars of the sport.
A fundamental task of computational geometry is identifying concepts, properties and techniques which help efficient algorithmic implementations for geometric problems. The approach taken here is the presentations of algorithms and the evaluation of their worst case complexity. The particular problems addressed include geometric searching and retrieval, convex hull construction and related problems, proximity, intersection and the geometry of rectangles.
This book provides an accessible introduction to methods in computational geometry and computer graphics. It emphasizes the efficient object-oriented implemenation of geometric methods with useable C++ code for all methods discussed.
