Created at the end of the last century, the theory of convex bodies is now a science rich in general methods and individual remarkable results. It is still under development today.. Total number of printed scientific papers and books, on this issue , So much for CM. What is in the table of contents of a modern abstract mathematical journal , Presenting all emerging papers in mathematics, The theory of convex bodies stands as an independent mathematical discipline along with a small number of other mathematical sciences. Such popularity of the theory of convex bodies is associated primarily with the importance of this theory for geometry, as well as with its significant applications as to other sections of mathematics (algebra, number theory, etc.). ) and to natural science (mathematical crystallography). The importance of the theory of convex bodies has especially increased after the recent remarkable work of the Leningrad mathematician A.. D. Alexandrov, who laid it down as the basis of a new important direction he created in the most significant of the modern geometric sciences - differential geometry.
