Discrete differential geometry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Discrete differential geometry is the study of discrete counterparts of notions in differential geometry. Instead of smooth curves and surfaces there are polygons, meshes and simplicial complexes. It is used in the study of computer graphics and topological combinatorics.
