✦ Synopsis

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 under-
standable without knowing the smooth origin of the various notions.

The material covered in this book is by nomeans a comprehensive overview
of the emerging field of discrete differential geometry but I hope that it can
serve as an introduction.

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
