About this title

About the Author

Leonid Vitalievich Kantorovich was born in St Petersburg in 1912, and embarked upon a life's work in mathematics at an early age, writing his first book at the age of 21, and gaining a professorship at Leningrad State University a year later. During the course of his life he wrote numerous mathematical books and articles and was recognised by many foreign universities and institutes. In 1975 he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize for economics together with T.C. Koopmans for their joint contribution to the theory of optimum allocation of resources. Up until his death in 1986, Kantorovich remained a respected figure in the world of applied mathematics, and his works proved to be influential across a wide range of disciplines.
