This thesis concerns problems arising in dynamic geometry and numerical integration, where complex detours play an important role. In the first part, fundamental questions in continuous dynamic geometry are studied. We develop a formal model and investigate, among others, problems of existence. In the second part, complexity theoretic issues from continuous dynamic geometry are addressed. By doing so, new bounds for the so-called Reachability Problem are proved. In the third part, we apply complex detours in the context of numerical integration. It is studied, how this increases the order of convergence of a method.
