Pollack is a geometer who has spent most of his career at the Courant Institute of New York University, where he is now Professor Emeritus.[2] In 1986 he and Jacob E. Goodman were the founding co-editors-in-chief of the journal Discrete and Computational Geometry (Springer-Verlag).[3]

Contributions

In combinatorics he is known principally for his work with Paul Erdős and János Pach [4] [5] [6] .[7] In discrete geometry he is known for a number of basic concepts and results[vague][8] [9] [10] [11] ,[12] joint with his long term collaborator, Jacob E. Goodman;[13] of City College, City University of New York, and some with others [14] [15] [16] [17] [18][19] his work with Goodman includes such results as the first nontrivial bounds on the number of order types and polytopes,[8] and a generalization of the Hadwiger transversal theorem to higher dimensions.[9] In real algebraic geometry he is known principally for a series of papers authored jointly with Saugata Basu and Marie-Françoise Roy [14][15][16][17] and for their book.[20]

Awards and honors

In 2003, a collection of original research papers in discrete and computational geometry entitled Discrete and Computational Geometry: The Goodman–Pollack Festschrift[21] was published as a tribute to Jacob E. Goodman and Richard Pollack on the occasion of their 2/3 × 100 birthdays.

In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[22]
