Finite arrangements of convex bodies were intensively investigated in the second half of the 20th century. Connections to many other subjects were made, including crystallography, the local theory of Banach spaces, and combinatorial optimisation. This book, the first one dedicat…

There is a long tradition of geometric questions requiring algebra for their answers. The oldest go back to the Greeks, such as "Can we construct a square with the same area as that of a given disk?" many of which were not resolved until mathematicians concluded that [lowercase …
The Kepler conjecture, one of geometry's oldest unsolved problems, was formulated in 1611 by Johannes Kepler and mentioned by Hilbert in his famous 1900 problem list. The Kepler conjecture states that the densest packing of three-dimensional Euclidean space by equal spheres is a…
