7 Using Geometry to Improve Security Practices
When you think about modern security, geometry might not immediately come to mind. However, using computer algorithms to solve classic geometric problems such as line length, shape area, and object intersections allows you to analyze spatial relationships, which in turn can inform your security practices. This field is known as computational geometry.
In the next few chapters, we’ll apply geometry to problems that relate data to the physical world using geometric rules. In Chapter 8, we’ll use the properties of shapes to locate an imaginary perpetrator using cell phone data and MapBox Maps ...
