The Handbook of Geometric Constraint Systems Principles is an entry point to the currently used principal mathematical and computational tools and techniques of the geometric constraint system (GCS). It functions as a single source containing the core principles and results, accessible to both beginners and experts.

The handbook provides a guide for students learning basic concepts, as well as experts looking to pinpoint specific results or approaches in the broad landscape. As such, the editors created this handbook to serve as a useful tool for navigating the varied concepts, approaches and results found in GCS research.

Key Features:

• • A comprehensive reference handbook authored by top researchers
  • Includes fundamentals and techniques from multiple perspectives that span several research communities
  • Provides recent results and a graded program of open problems and conjectures
  • Can be used for senior undergraduate or graduate topics course introduction to the area
  • Detailed list of figures and tables
