Mathematics 295: Special Topics - Computational Geometry from a
Mathematical Perspective (Fall 2002)
Instructor:
John Harer
Description:
I will cover geometric techniques for data analysis in
the context of certain kinds of applications. These include terrain
analysis via GIS (the mathematics behind it), some molecular modeling
issues, parts positioning systems and motion planning. The theme will be
to describe these problems geometrically and then to discuss topologically
robust methodologies for solving the problems computationally.
Students from both pure and applied mathematics, as well as students from other
departments, are welcome.
