Computational Geometry

Semester	Winter 2013/2014 [ Other terms: Winter 15/16 · Winter 14/15 · Winter 12/13 ]
Module #	INF-ALG-18 , INF-ALG-18
Event #	INF-ALG-007, INF-ALG-008
Programmes	Diplom Informatik, Master Informatik, Diplom Wirtschaftsinformatik, Master Wirtschaftsinformatik
IBR Group(s)	ALG (Prof. Fekete)
Type	Vorlesung/Übung
Lecturer	Dr. Christiane Schmidt Ehemalige Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin
Assistant	Dr. Christiane Schmidt Ehemalige Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin
Credits	5
Hours	2+1
Time & Place	Monday, 15:00 - 16:30 , PK 3.3 Thursday, 16:45 - 19:0 , PK 3.2 small tutorial: Friday, 11:30 - 13:00, IZ 358, tutor: Thomas Mysliewitz. We will start class only at the beginning of December, but will then meet twice a week (so both dates, Mondays and Thursdays, have a look at the course overview below). This will give you an intensive and fun introduction into Computational Geometry. Content you'd generally expect to be presented in lectures/tutorials will be presented on both days (with the overall 2+1-ratio preserved).
Start	First Lecture: Monday, December 2 First small tutorial: Friday, December 13
Prerequisites	none
Language	English
Certificates	(Homework assignments during the semester, and)* an exam at the end. (*=Studienleistung)
Content	After the course, the participants know the basic models of geometric algorithms. They are able to identify algorithmic difficulites of geometric problems and are able to formulate adequate objectives. They can handle different solution techniques and are able to develop algorithmic methods for yet unknown problems. They survey the practical relevance of problems and solutions. We will speak English in class. Students are encouraged (but not required) to use English in exercises and exams as well. Topics: Geometric Problems and Data Structures The Art Gallery Problem Polygon Triangulation Triangulation of Point Sets Convex Hulls Voronoi Diagrams Localization
