Pogorelov was born in Korocha, Kursk Governorate, Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (now Belgorod Oblast, Russia) and died in Moscow.
Moscow State University.
He was most famous for his contributions to convex and differential geometry. He was also the author of a number of influential research monographs as well as popular high school and college textbooks. For much of his life he worked in Kharkiv (Ukraine) (from 1937 until 2000), first at the Kharkiv State University and then at the B Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering.
He wrote his dissertation under the supervision of A.D. Alexandrov and Nikolai Efimov. His books on intrinsic geometry of convex bodies, Hilbert's fourth problem, multidimensional Minkowski problem, and Monge–Ampère equation were translated to other languages and became standard in the field.
