Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Some classical algorithms in computational geometry are presented, along with methods on how to tacke new problems.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Capacity to analyze a geometric problem in order to give an algorithmic answer that
- answers to the problem
- is efficient, also on big sets of input data
- is robust with respect to degenerate cases
- is robust with respect to errors in floating point arithmetic
