Oleg Karpenkov is a mathematician at the University of Liverpool (UK), working in the general area of discrete geometry and its applications. More specifically, his research interests include geometry of numbers, discrete and semi-discrete differential geometry and self-stressed configurations of graphs. Oleg has completed his Ph.D. at Moscow State University under the supervision of Vladimir Arnold in 2005. Further he held several postdoctoral positions in Paris (Fellowship of the Mairie de Paris), Leiden, and Graz (Lise Meitner Fellowship) before arriving in Liverpool in 2012. In 2013 he published a book "Geometry of Continued Fractions" (its extended second edition will be available soon). Currently his Erdos number is 3.

"There are a modest number of exercises at the end of each chapter; most of these are to work out specific numerical examples. I view this as a monograph on a very specialized subject rather than a textbook." (Allen Stenger, MAA Reviews, October 30, 2022)
