| Summary |
This volume collects papers based on talks given at the conference "Geometrias'19: Polyhedra and Beyond", held in the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto between September 5-7, 2019 in Portugal. These papers explore the conferences theme from an interdisciplinary standpoint, all the while emphasizing the relevance of polyhedral geometry in contemporary academic research and professional practice. They also investigate how this topic connects to mathematics, art, architecture, computer science, and the science of representation. Polyhedra and Beyond will help inspire scholars, researchers, professionals, and students of any of these disciplines to develop a more thorough understanding of polyhedra |
