An efficient algorithm for obtaining the volume of a special kind of pyramid and application to convex polyhedra

An efficient method is given for obtaining the volume of a pyramid of species n - 2 whose base is a convex polygon. The pyramid is " transformed" into a simplex whose volume is computed directly. A refinement is provided to the Cohen-Hickey method for determining volumes of convex polyhedra.
