Kantorovich theorem

1938

A graduate of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, Professor of Leningrad State University Leonid Kantorovich developed a theory that in 1975 brought him the Nobel Prize in Economics. The reason for creating the theory was the appeal to the scientist of the representatives of the central laboratory of the All-Union Plywood Trust, who wanted to increase productivity.
