Summary: Together with its clear mathematical exposition, the problems in this book take the reader from an introduction to discrete geometry all the way to its frontiers. Investigations start with easily drawn figures, such as dividing a polygon into triangles or finding the minimum number of ""guards"" for a polygon (""art gallery"" problem). These early explorations build intuition and set the stage. Variations on the initial problems stretch this intuition in new dPPN: PPN: 1907954651Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-NLEBK | BSZ-4-NLEBK-KAUB
