Description:
The Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG) focuses on the mathematics of discrete geometry from a computational point of view. Abstracting and studying the
geometry problems that underly important applications of computing (such as geographic information systems, computer-aided design, simulation, robotics, solid modeling, databases, and
graphics) leads not only to new mathematical results, but also to improvements in these applications.
Despite its international following, CCCG maintains the informality of a smaller workshop (70-85 attendees) and attracts a large number of students.
Speakers: John Canny (Professor of Computer Science, U of C Berkeley), Susanne Fortier (Professor of Chemistry, Queens University, subject to confirmation), Victor Klee (Professor of Math, U of Washington)
