- Prerequisites
- Basic course on algorithms, high school geometry.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 18 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to introduce the principles of basic algorithms in computational geometry. This course can be followed by the PA093 Computational Geometry Project where the students are implemented selected algorithms in practice.
- Learning outcomes
- Students will gain knowledge about state-of-the-art algorithmic methods in this field, along with their complexity and underlying data and searching structures.
