Legendary mathematician Geoffrey Colin Shephard was known for his work on convex geometry and reflection groups. He asked Shephard's problem on the volumes of projected convex bodies, and posed another problem on polyhedral nets, while proving the Shephard-Todd theorem in invariant theory of finite groups, and began the study of complex polytopes, and classified the complex reflection groups. A rare title in the rare original DJ; NF/NF.
