Geometry is a classical core part of mathematics which, with its
birth, marked the beginning of the mathematical sciences. Thus, not
surprisingly, geometry has played a key role in many important
developments of mathematics in the past, as well as in present
times. While focusing on modern mathematics, one has to emphasize
the increasing role of discrete mathematics, or equivalently, the
broad movement to establish discrete analogues of major components
of mathematics. In this way, the works of a number of outstanding
mathema- cians including H. S. M. Coxeter (Canada), C. A. Rogers
(United Kingdom), and L. Fejes-T oth (Hungary) led to the new and
fast developing eld called discrete geometry. One can brie y
describe this branch of geometry as the study of discrete
arrangements of geometric objects in Euclidean, as well as in
non-Euclidean spaces. This, as a classical core part, also includes
the theory of polytopes and tilings in addition to the theory of
packing and covering. D- crete geometry is driven by problems often
featuring a very clear visual and applied character. The solutions
use a variety of methods of modern mat- matics, including convex
and combinatorial geometry, coding theory, calculus of variations,
di erential geometry, group theory, and topology, as well as
geometric analysis and number theory.
