This is the only book on the topic of geometric configurations of points and lines. It presents in detail the history of the topic, with its surges and declines

Unifies discrete and computational geometry by using forbidden patterns of points to characterize many of its problems.

Configurations can be studied from a graph-theoretical viewpoint via the so-called Levi graphs and lie at the heart of graphs, groups, surfaces, and geometries,

This book surveys the mathematical and computational properties of finite sets of points in the plane, covering recent breakthroughs on important problems in di

This remarkable book endures as a true masterpiece of mathematical exposition. The book is overflowing with mathematical ideas, which are always explained clear
