It includes a vast collection of ideas and tools which will offer something new to all interested readers. Discrete geometry has arisen as much as a theoretical development as in response to unforeseen challenges coming from applications. Discrete and continuous geometries have turned out to be intimately connected. Discrete curvature is the key concept connecting them through many bridges in numerous fields: metric spaces, Riemannian and Euclidean geometries, geometric measure theory, topology, partial differential equations, calculus of variations, gradient flows, asymptotic analysis, probability, harmonic analysis, graph theory, etc. In spite of its crucial importance both in theoretical mathematics and in applications, up to now, almost no books have provided a coherent outlook on this emerging field.Lecture Notes in Mathematics,0075-8434 ;2184GeometryAlgebraic geometryDiscrete mathematicsComputer mathematicsGeometryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21006Algebraic Geometryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11019Discrete Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M29000Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1400XGeometry.Algebraic geometry.Discrete mathematics.Computer mathematics.Geometry.Algebraic Geometry.Discrete Mathematics.Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis.516Najman Laurentedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRomon Pascaledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996466543503316Modern Approaches to Discrete Curvature2004353UNISA
