Popis
Shrnutí:The paper surveys main features of computational geometry and presents the argument that a course oriented to applied computational geometry should be a part of the computer graphics curriculum, as it teaches effective algorithmic methods and helps to develop thinking. Possible contents of the course and forms suitable and interesting for computer graphics students are discussed. The students' feedback on such a course has been mostly positive.
