Information Geometers has run its Computing with Geometry course a number of times in the last few years with the authors as presenters. This book is the material presented on the course.
Computing with geometry is a large (and in some places muddy) field. Here we have tried to cover all of it to a more-or-less uniform depth, measured in terms of utility. This means that some topics (such as interval arithmetic) get rather more coverage than would be expected from the frequency with which they appear in the literature, whereas others (such as parametric surfaces) get less. In the former case some extra attention is perhaps overdue, and in the latter the associated literature is so vast that a proportional treatment would have reduced the rest of the book to an appendix. We hope we've struck a reasonable balance. An annotated list of references is provided to allow you to dig deeper into topics that interest you particularly.
