- Joseph O'Rourke (professor)
Joseph O'Rourke is a professor of computer science at Smith College. His main research interests are computational geometry and the philosophy of artificial intelligence.
O'Rourke was the first person to publish an algorithm to determine the minimum bounding box of a point set in three dimensions.
He was formerly the arxiv moderator for computational geometry and discrete mathematics.
