This monographattempts such an investigation in thecase of two basicpredicates: the counterclockwise relation pqr, whichstatesthat the circle through points (p, q, r) istraversedcounterclockwise when we encounter the points in cyclicorder p, q, r, p,...; and the incircle relation pqrs, whichstates that s liesinside that circle if pqr is true, oroutside that circle if pqr is false.The author, DonaldKnuth, is one of the greatest computer scientists of ourtime. A few years ago, he and some of his students werelooking at amap that pinpointed the locations of about 100cities. They asked, "Which ofthese cities are neighbors ofeach other?" They knew intuitively that somepairs of citieswere neighbors and some were not; they wanted to find aformal mathematical characterization that would match theirintuition.This monograph is the result. | Pindex | Book 1992 |
