Sommario/riassunto

Computational synthetic geometry deals with methods for realizing abstract geometric objects in concrete vector spaces. This research monograph considers a large class of problems from convexity and discrete geometry including constructing convex polytopes from simplicial complexes, vector geometries from incidence structures and hyperplane arrangements from oriented matroids. It turns out that algorithms for these constructions exist if and only if arbitrary polynomial equations are decidable with respect to the underlying field. Besides such complexity theorems a variety of symbolic algorithms are discussed, and the methods are applied to obtain new mathematical results on convex polytopes, projective configurations and the combinatorics of Grassmann varieties. Finally algebraic varieties characterizing matroids and oriented matroids are introduced providing a new basis for applying computer algebra methods in this field. The necessary background knowledge is reviewed briefly. The text is accessible to students with graduate level background in mathematics, and will serve professional geometers and computer scientists as an introduction and motivation for further research.

Sommario/riassunto

Nicholas Hagger's 'The Secret American Destiny' explores the concept of a unified world culture and the establishment of a World State. Drawing upon his previous works and philosophical insights, Hagger examines the historical and cultural evolution of global governance, emphasizing the role of America in leading this transformation. He reflects on the dialectical synthesis of global culture, combining rational and intuitive thinking. The book aims to inspire global unity through America's spiritual and political leadership, envisioning a democratic world government as a solution to prevent future conflicts. The intended audience includes readers interested in philosophy, history, and global politics.
