Over the last year or two, there have been numerous inquiries and
discussions concerning topics in geometric algorithms and geometric
modeling. This raises two thoughts:

Are we ready for a computational geometry new group ? (Please, no flames!!)

Since a computational geometry course was mentioned in a recent note,
Washington University CS teaches CS506-Computational Geometry and
Geometric Modeling (every other year). I would be interested in any
comments or discussion on such courses.

(As a side note, geomtric algorithms are sneaking into some of our intro
courses and have proved of more interest and motivation to students than
some of the more traditional problems.)
