β¦ Synopsis
This is the first book on a newly emerging field of discrete differential geometry providing an excellent way to access this exciting area. It provides discrete equivalents of the geometric notions and methods of differential geometry, such as notions of curvature and integrability for polyhedral surfaces. The carefully edited collection of essays gives a lively, multi-facetted introduction to this emerging field.

Discrete differential geometry investigates discrete analogs of objects of smooth differential geometry. Thus, through the notes I refer to various notions of classical differential geometry. But while knowledge of basic dif- ferential geometry is of course helpful, most of the material should be
An emerging field of discrete differential geometry aims at the development of discrete equivalents of notions and methods of classical differential geometry. The latter appears as a limit of a refinement of the discretization. Current interest in discrete differential geometry derives not only from
