Prehistory. I started developing CirclePack using the C language in the early 1990's, with continual improvements in capability, graphics, and features as the mathematics and its applications evolved. I have always treated the software as an experimental laboratory for discrete conformal geometry and discrete analytic function theory.

This book lays out their study, from first definitions to the latest theory, computations, and applications.
"Ken Stephenson has produced this textbook an effective and enjoyable tour of both the basic theory of circle parking and its use in deriving an intricate theory of discrete analytic functions. All this from the humble circle!
Mathematics books by Kenneth Stephenson include: "Introduction to Circle Packing: The Theory of Discrete Analytic Functions", "Explorations in Complex Anaysis", and "Unifomizing Dessins and Belyĭ Maps via Circle Packing".
