The chapters give the background required to begin research in these fields or at their interfaces. They introduce new research domains and both old and new conjectures in these different subjects show some interaction between other sciences close to mathematics. Topics discussed are; the basis of differential topology and combinatorial topology, the link between differenti Notes "Proceedings of the Nato Advanced Study Institute on Differential Geometry and Topology, Discrete and Computational Geometry, Marrakech, Morocco, 17-31 May 2004"--Title page verso Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Geometry, Differential -- Congresses Differential topology -- Congresses Geometry -- Data processing -- Congresses Discrete geometry -- Congresses MATHEMATICS -- Geometry -- Differential.
