Discrete differential geometry (DDG) is a new and active mathematical terrain where differential geometry (providing the classical theory of smooth manifolds) interacts with discrete geometry (concerned with polytopes, simplicial complexes, etc.), using tools and ideas from all parts of mathematics. DDG aims to develop discrete equivalents of the geometric notions and methods of classical differential geometry. Current interest in this field derives not only from its importance in pure mathematics but also from its relevance for other fields such as computer graphics. Discrete differential geometry initially arose from the observation that when a notion from smooth geometry (such as that of a minimal surface) is discretized “properly”, the discrete objects are not merely approximations of the smooth ones, but have special properties of their own, which make them form a coherent entity by themselves. One might suggest many different reasonable discretizations with the same smooth limit. Among these, which one is the best? From the theoretical point of view, the best discretization is the one which preserves the fundamental properties of the smooth theory. Often such a discretization clarifies the structures of the smooth theory and possesses important connections to other fields of mathematics, for instance to projective geometry, integrable systems, algebraic geometry, or complex analysis. The discrete theory is in a sense the more fundamental one: the smooth theory can always be recovered as a limit, while it is a nontrivial problem to find which discretization has the desired properties.
