Martin Aigner was born on 28 February 1942. He received his Ph.D from the University of Vienna. His book Proofs from THE BOOK (co-written with Günter M. Ziegler) has been translated into 12 languages.[3]

Aigner died on 11 October 2023, at the age of 81.[4]

Aigner was a recipient of a 1996 Lester R. Ford Award from the Mathematical Association of America for his expository article Turán's Graph Theorem.[5] In 2018, Aigner received the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition (jointly with Günter M. Ziegler).[6]
