Well, I was reading a 1979 article by KQ Brown on the construction of Voronoi diagrams from convex hulls (solving it using inversion and not the classical paraboloid lifting map) when I saw the 1978 reference of a PhD on "computational geometry":
@phdthesis{PhD-Zolnowsky-1978,
author = {John Edward Zolnowsky},
title = {Topics in computational geometry},
year = {1978},
month = feb,
publisher = {Stanford University},
address = {Stanford, CA, USA},
}
A web search on Google books gave me the PDF.
The thesis was defended in Stanford before the M. I Shamos' one (May 1978, Yale U).
I am impressed by its concision: 52 pages and 12 references. (The PDF has more pages because it scanned recto-verso... -:) )
