Reference recommendations for Convex Geometry

626 Views Asked by At

So I'm an undergraduate with limited knowledge of analysis, and none of topology. I'm trying to study Convex Geometry, and I'm looking for recommendations for the same - in terms of books, video playlists, course webpages, etc.

It will be great if the book/resource is suited for self-study; but I don't mind if it's not!

One book I came across after a little search is Lectures on Convex Geometry by Daniel Hug and W. Weil - though I don't know much about it. Thank you!

There are numerous references; here are my 3 favorites:

A superb introduction is [1] Ball, Keith. "An elementary introduction to modern convex geometry." Flavors of geometry 31 (1997): 1-58. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.77.3836&rep=rep1&type=pdf

A wonderful but challenging book is: [2] Gilles Pisier, The volume of convex bodies and Banach space geometry, Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics, vol. 94, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1989.

The combinatorial view: [3] Danzer, L., B. Grünbaum, and V. Klee. "Helly’s Theorem and its Relatives (Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics VII)." American Mathematical Society (Providence, RI, 1963): 101-180.
