Reconciliation Of Geometry And Perception In Radiation Physics

Reconciliation of Geometry and Perception in Radiation Physics approaches the topic of projective geometry as it applies to radiation physics and attempts to negate its negative reputation. With an original outlook and transversal approach, the book emphasizes common geometric properties and their potential transposition between domains. After defining both radiation and geometric properties, authors Benoit and Pierre Beckers explain the necessity of reconciling geometry and perception in fields like architectural and urban physics, which are notable for the regularity of their forms and the complexity of their interactions.

Benoit Beckers is Associate Professor at Compiegne University of Technology, France. His research focuses on solar radiation and natural light in architectural and urban projects, on geometrical methods in numerical simulation and on the perception of waves in their physical and cultural environment.

Pierre Beckers is Emeritus Professor at the University of Liege, Belgium. His research is principally conducted within the framework of the finite element method, computer graphics, data visualization, and computational geometry.
