A Case for Algorithms: A Computational Geometer's Perspective
Algorithms are all around us in every smart device and technology that has consumed our daily lives. As a computational geometer, I study algorithms to solve problems that involve a geometric perspective on data. I have observed that practically every technology and field of study has a need for effective algorithms involving geometric data. I reflect on some favorite algorithmic problems that are easy to visualize, but challenging to solve, and argue that the formal study of algorithms remains essential in the age of AI.
