CS 468 ( Spring 2013 ) — Discrete Differential Geometry Lecture 10 : Computing Geodesics

In Praise of Numerical Computation Dedicated to Kurt Mehlhorn on his 60th Birthday

Theoretical Computer Science has developed an almost exclusively discrete/algebraic persona. We have effectively shut ourselves off from half of the world of computing: a host of problems in Computational Science & Engineering (CS&E) are defined on the continuum, and, for them, the discrete viewpoint is inadequate. The computational techniques in such problems are well-known to numerical analys...
