What is the "geometry of numbers"?
A field of number theory
A mathematical puzzle
A book by Minkowski
A physics principle
Answer
The geometry of numbers is a field of number theory in which geometric methods are used to study the structure of the integers. It was pioneered by German mathematician Hermann Minkowski in his book "Geometry of Numbers" (1896). Minkowski's work was motivated by the study of quadratic forms, and he showed that the geometry of numbers can be used to solve problems in this area.
