Leonid Khachiyan is one of the most popular and richest Mathematician who was born on May 3, 1952 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Leonid Genrikhovich Khachiyan (/k ɑː tʃ iː ən / ; Russian: Леонид Генрихович Хачиян ; May 3, 1952 – April 29, 2005) was a Soviet and American mathematician and computer scientist.

Khachiyan is best known for his four-page February 1979 paper that indicated how an ellipsoid method for linear programming can be implemented in polynomial time. The paper was translated into several languages and spread around the world unusually fast. Authors of a 1981 survey of his work noted that it “has caused great excitement and stimulated a flood of technical papers” and was covered by major newspapers. It was originally published without proofs, which were provided by Khachiyan in a later paper published in 1980 and by Peter Gács and Laszlo Lovász in 1981. It were Gács and Lovász who first brought attention to Khachiyan’s paper at the International Symposium on Mathematical Programming in Montreal in August 1979. It was further popularized when Gina Kolata reported it in Science Magazine on November 2, 1979.
