Nonlinear Computational Geometry

The textbook "Nonlinear Computational Geometry" offers a comprehensive introduction to the interface between algebraic geometry and computational geometry. It was written by leading experts in the field and emerged from a workshop that took place in 2007. The authors, including Ioannis Z. Emiris, Frank Sottile, and Thorsten Theobald, illuminate the challenges and advancements in nonlinear geometric computation that have been driven by technological developments in areas such as robotics and computer vision. The book addresses both theoretical and algorithmic questions and provides practical approaches to dealing with curved objects. With 239 pages, it is a valuable resource for researchers and students looking to engage with the latest developments in geometry.
