Branches that study finite and discrete geometric configurations. An entry belongs here when its cited source describes polyhedra and polytopes, the packing and covering of space by shapes, tilings, or points and lines considered through their combinatorial structure. It does not belong here when the branch relies mainly on calculus or on curved spaces, which belong with the differential and non-Euclidean group. The group sits where geometry meets counting and computation, and it is the geometry of choice for computer science and optimization.
