《离散和计算几何手册》是一本非专业人士和专家都能完全阅读的参考书，涵盖了这两个领域的所有主要方面。
这本书为那些在工作中使用离散几何和计算几何的人提供了最重要的结果和方法，无论是在学术界——作为数学和计算机科学的研究人员——还是在专业领域——作为运筹学、分子生物学和机器人学等不同领域的实践者。
近年来，离散几何对离散数学的发展做出了重大贡献。这部分得益于功能强大的计算机的出现，以及计算几何这个相对年轻的领域最近的活动激增。离散几何和计算几何之间的综合是本手册的核心。
越来越多的应用领域包括组合优化、计算机辅助设计、计算机图形学、结晶学、数据分析、纠错码、地理信息系统、运动规划、运筹学、模式识别、机器人学、实体建模和层析成像。
Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry, 3rd Edition
The Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry is intended as a reference book fully accessible to nonspecialists as well as specialists, covering all major aspects of both fields.
The book offers the most important results and methods in discrete and computational geometry to those who use them in their work, both in the academic world―as researchers in mathematics and computer science―and in the professional world―as practitioners in fields as diverse as operations research, molecular biology, and robotics.
Discrete geometry has contributed significantly to the growth of discrete mathematics in recent years. This has been fueled partly by the advent of powerful computers and by the recent explosion of activity in the relatively young field of computational geometry. This synthesis between discrete and computational geometry lies at the heart of this Handbook.
A growing list of application fields includes combinatorial optimization, computer-aided design, computer graphics, crystallography, data analysis, error-correcting codes, geographic information systems, motion planning, operations research, pattern recognition, robotics, solid modeling, and tomography.
