Although the first known contributions to convex geometry date back to antiquity and can be traced in the works of Euclid and Archimedes, it became an independent branch of mathematics at the turn of the 19th century, mainly due to the works of Hermann Brunn and Hermann Minkowski in dimensions two and three.
