| Prerequisites | Basic knowledge of analysis of Algorithms and Data Structures is required. Basic knowledge of probability is useful but not required. |
| Language | English |
| Certificates | Homework assignments during the semester (=Studienleistung) and one exam at the end. |
| Content | This course is meant to be a first course in Computational Geometry. After this course, the participants will have acquired good knowledge about core topics in Computational Geometry that by now have gathered a significant amount of research and practical applications. The participants will be able to handle common design paradigms of geometric algorithms such as divide-and-conquer, sweep-line, as well as probabilistic. They will also be able to design and analyze geometric algorithms taking into consideration inherent intricacies of geometric computations. Topics on this course include among other:
