Summary

Discrete Geometry in Russia

The Russian schools of geometry and topology are recognized worldwide for their academic leadership and the wealth and significance of their results in the fields. Closing this gap was among the goals of the Government of the Russian Federation, when it decided to support the creation of a laboratory of a new Discrete and Computational Geometry This field is a fast developing branch of modern mathematics, with applications in many areas, ranging from entertainment to. In 2011, the International Delaunay Laboratory on Discrete and Computational Geometry was established at the Demidov State University in Yaroslavl. He wrote several brilliant articles for this journal and published a related book “Pearls of the polytopes theory” These works popularize science and invite everybody – from high-school student to academician – to the world of Discrete Geometry. Nikolai Dolbilin is an active mathematician and expert in mathematical education He still works at the Steklov Institute and advises several Ph.D. students. The conference, organized in Yaroslavl and dedicated to his 70th birthday, attracted many his close friends, colleagues and co-authors from all over the world
