Abstract

Computing with geometric objects (points, curves, and surfaces) is central for many engineering disciplines and lies at the heart of computer aided design systems. Implementing geometric algorithms is notoriously difficult and most actual implementations are incomplete: they are known to crash or deliver the wrong result on some instances.
