Pollack también publicó artículos sobre geometría discreta. Su trabajo con Jacob E. Goodman incluye los primeros límites no triviales sobre el número de tipos de orden y politopos, y una generalización del teorema transversal de Hadwiger a dimensiones superiores. Él y Goodman fueron los editores fundadores de la revista Discrete & Computational Geometry.
En 2003 se publicó una colección de artículos de investigación originales en geometríadiscreta y computacional titulada Discrete and Computational Geometry: The Goodman-Pollack Festschrift como homenaje a Jacob E. Goodman y Richard Pollack con motivo de su 2/3.×100 cumpleaños.
