Oriented matroids play the role of matrices in discrete geometry, when metrical properties, such as angles or distances, are neither required nor available. Thu

First comprehensive, accessible account; second edition has expanded bibliography and a new appendix surveying recent research.

While high-quality books and journals in this field continue to proliferate, none has yet come close to matching the Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geom

The Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry is intended as a reference book fully accessible to nonspecialists as well as specialists, covering all majo

Unifies discrete and computational geometry by using forbidden patterns of points to characterize many of its problems.
