Georgy Voronoi

Georgy Voronoi was a mathematician who developed a way to divide space into regions based on the closest points from a set of given locations. Imagine placing several points (like cities) on a map; Voronoi's method creates zones around each city so that any location within a zone is closest to that city. These regions are called Voronoi diagrams and are useful in various fields like geography, computer science, and clustering analysis, helping to understand and visualize spatial relationships efficiently.
