Abstract

The 2010 mathematics subject classification used in Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt für Mathematik includes the section 53C45 Global surface theory (convex surfaces à la A.D. Aleksandrov). Not even Lobachevsky was shown this degree of recognition by the mathematics community. Aleksandrov became the foremost Russian geometer of the 20th century.
