This text gives a comprehensive introduction to the “common core” of convex geometry. Basic concepts and tools which are present in all branches of that field are presented with a highly didactic approach. Mainly directed to graduate and advanced undergraduates, the book is self-contained in such a way that it can be read by anyone who has standard undergraduate knowledge of analysis and of linear algebra. Additionally, it can be used as a single reference for a complete introduction to convex geometry, and the content coverage is sufficiently broad that the reader may gain a glimpse of the entire breadth of the field and various subfields. The book is suitable as a primary text for courses in convex geometry and also in discrete geometry (including polytopes). It is also appropriate for survey type courses in Banach space theory, convex analysis, differential geometry, and applications of measure theory. Solutions to all exercises are available to instructors who adopt the text for coursework.Most chapters use the same structure with the first part presenting theory and the next containing a healthy range of exercises. Some of the exercises may even be considered as short introductions to ideas which are not covered in the theory portion. Each chapter has a notes section offering a rich narrative to accompany the theory, illuminating the development of ideas, and providing overviews to the literature concerning the covered topics. In most cases, these notes bring the reader to the research front. The text includes many figures that illustrate concepts and some parts of the proofs, enabling the reader to have a better understanding of the geometric meaning of the ideas. An appendix containing basic (and geometric) measure theory collects useful information for convex geometers.

This book provides the solutions to all 347 exercises contained in the text Convexity from the Geometric Point of View, published in the same Cornerstones series. All these exercises are restated and numbered analogously to those in the original text. The corresponding solutions follow each exercise. Besides the discussion of all solutions, some additional facts about the main text are sprinkled throughout. Sections of further reading are posted to the ends of each chapter supplying the reader with background literature to selected notions and tools that play a role in the exercises and/or solutions to the chapter.The original text gives a comprehensive introduction to the “common core” of convex geometry and is suitable as a primary text for courses in convex geometry and in discrete geometry (including polytopes). Additionally, it can be used as a single reference for a complete introduction to convex geometry. The content coverage is sufficiently broad that the reader may gain a glimpse of the entire breadth of the field, various subfields, and interesting connections to neighboring disciplines. Mainly directed to graduate and advanced undergraduates, the original text is self-contained in such a way that it can be read by anyone who has standard undergraduate knowledge of analysis and of linear algebra. The same is true for this book of solutions.
