Computational geometry emerged from the field of algorithms design and analysis in the late 1970s. No knowledge of the application domains is required, and hardly any knowledge of. It has grown into a recognized discipline with its own journals, conferences, and a large community of active researchers. Even when the input points are all integers, as soon as intermediate steps require things like line intersections, orthogonal projections or circle tangents, we have no choice but to use oatingpoint numbers to represent coordinates.
