About this title

Synopsis

Discrete differential geometry is an active mathematical terrain where differential geometry and discrete geometry meet and interact. It provides discrete equivalents of the geometric notions and methods of differential geometry, such as notions of curvature and integrability for polyhedral surfaces. Current progress in this field is to a large extent stimulated by its relevance for computer graphics and mathematical physics. This collection of essays, which documents the main lectures of the 2004 Oberwolfach Seminar on the topic, as well as a number of additional contributions by key participants, gives a lively, multi-facetted introduction to this emerging field.

Review

"This book gives new life to old concepts of classical differential geometry, and a beautiful introduction to new notions of discrete integrable systems. It should be of interest to researchers in several areas of mathematics (integrable systems, differential geometry, numerical approximation of special surfaces), but also to advanced students interested in a good introduction to several classical areas of mathematics. Parts of it could well be used for graduate or possibly advanced undergraduate courses in mathematics." ---- Mathematical Reviews
