    Extractions: ISBN 981-238385-9 In the 20th century, many mathematicians in Russia made great contributions to the field of mathematics. This invaluable book, which presents the main achievements of Russian mathematicians in that century, is the first most comprehensive book on Russian mathematicians. It has been produced as a gesture of respect and appreciation for those mathematicians and it will serve as a good reference and an inspiration for future mathematicians. It presents differences in mathematical styles and focuses on Soviet mathematicians who often discussed "what to do" rather than "how to do it". Thus, the book will be valued beyond historical documentation. The editor, Professor Yakov Sinai, a distinguished Russian mathematician, has taken pains to select leading Russian mathematicians — such as Lyapunov, Luzin, Egorov, Kolmogorov, Pontryagin, Vinogradov, Sobolev, Petrovski and Krein — and their most important works. One can, for example, find works of Lyapunov, which parallel those of Poincar©; and works of Luzin, whose analysis plays a very important role in the history of Russian mathematics; Kolmogorov has established the foundations of probability based on analysis. The editor has tried to provide some parity and, at the same time, included papers that are of interest even today.

Print French Mathematicians Have It Down Cold Inauguration of a Franco-Russian Mathematics Laboratory in Moscow In March 2002 the CNRS signed an agreement with the Independent University of Moscow and the Russian Academy of Sciences setting up a French-Russian laboratory focused on mathematics and its interface with computer science and theoretical physics. The objective? Lend support to the brilliant Russian school of mathematics and at the same time encourage fruitful exchange. The excellence and originality of the school of mathematics which grew up in the Soviet Union are recognized worldwide. Since the collapse of the Soviet empire, however, the future continuity of this brilliant tradition is endangered by chronic lack of funds. Large numbers of Russian mathematicians have been driven by need to seek jobs in the West; the United States in particular has rolled out the red carpet to the best and brightest of them. Things are, however, not that simple, as Christian Peskine, deputy scientific director of Mathematics in the CNRS' Physical and Mathematical Sciences Department (SPM), makes clear. “Russian scientists are profoundly attached to their country and culture, and they look askance at Westerners recruiters on shopping trips.” In addition, a young Russian who goes to work abroad full-time in a few years loses contact with his or her scientific culture while acquiring that of the host country, with the attendant gains and losses of that trade-off.

    Extractions: Interim Announcement of an ICMI Regional Conference The Organizing Committee for the All-Russian Conference on Mathematical Education (RCME) "Mathematics and Society. Mathematical Education at the Frontier of Centuries" is pleased to announce that RCME will be held in Dubna (Moscow region), Russia, from September 18 to September 23, 2000. This conference has been officially recognized by the Executive Committee of ICMI as an ICMI Regional Conference. The Conference will deal with the major problems of mathematical education in Russia, pertaining both to secondary schools and to institutions of higher learning. In RCME we intend to acquire an adequate understanding of the current state of mathematical education in Russia and in the world, to elaborate general conceptual proposals for its development in the beginning of the next century. Needless to say, the success of RCME cannot be attained without strong participation of representatives from all regions of the Russian Federation and of advocates of all of the methodical schools and directions. We also expect that leading scientists and methodologists from abroad will participate. The organizers of the Conference are the Russian Academy of Science, the Russian Academy of Education, Moscow State University, and other major scientific and educational institutions of Russia.

Worked in the general areas of linear, quasilinear, and nonlinear partial (and some ordinary) differential equations of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic types, with some theoretical applications to Navier-Stokes flow. Professor of Mathematics at the Physics Department at St. Petersburg University and Head of the Laboratory of Mathematical Physics at the St. Petersburg branch of the Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Science. Olga Ladyzhenskaya was a member of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society since 1959. She was its vice-president for many years and its president between 1990 and 1998. In an email announcing the death of Ladyzhenskaya, Professor Max Gunzburger from Florida State University wrote: "Although a giant of mathematics, she is not known as a numerical analyst; however, she did provide the first (and still one of the few) rigorous proofs of the convergence of a finite difference method for the Navier-Stokes equations. More important, her seminal work on partial differential equations had tremendous and lasting influence on those who specialize in numerical PDEs. For example, she is the "L" of the celebrated LBB condition that arises in mixed finite element discretizations of the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations.

    Extractions: hostName = '.cultureby.com'; Main The Chudnovsky solution finds the Unicorn problem in the first instance by leveraging the Chudnovsky narrative. Word of mouth builds until it becomes word on page. But eventually we move from cultural matters to quasi economic ones and now the logic of transmission changes. Once the Chudnovsky brothers hit the pages of The New Yorker , they become a token in a larger exchange system. A real estate magnate steps up and invests in them. With a gift of $400,000, he endows an institute for the brothers and so becomes, in our post Medici era, their patron. In return for this investment, the magnate now has a capital of some value. Please don’t misunderstand me. I am not belittling the beneficent effects of the institute. The magnate’s gift supported two worthy mathematicians and some interesting math. There is a latter day inclination to suppose that generosity is corrupted by additional motives and “returns on the dollar.” This was almost precisely the Renaissance bargain and anyone who believes public gestures must be utterly selfless is living on the wrong planet.

    Extractions: Lafforgue: First of all, students should not specialize in one field too early in life. They should study a wide range of mathematics, even physics and biology, too, if they want to be a mathematician. I recommend to them to go to hear leading mathematicians lecture and to read great mathematicians' works as early as possible, even when they do not yet have required knowledge for such lectures or books. I think age 20 is not too early to start. It is also helpful to have a model for the future in their mind. Many Russian mathematicians studied in this way when they were aged 18 - 25, and have achieved remarkable research.

He spoke on The Problems of Mathematics , to such effect that Hermann Weyl later referred to anyone who solved one of the 23 problems that Hilbert presented as entering the honours class of mathematicians. Throughout the 20th century the solution of a problem was the occasion for praise and celebration. By 1900 Hilbert had emerged as the leading mathematician in Germany. He was famous for his solution of the major problems of invariant theory, and for his great Zahlbericht , or Report on the theory of numbers , published in 1896. In 1899, at Klein's request, Hilbert published The foundations of geometry You have opened up an immeasurable field of mathematical investigation which can be called the "mathematics of axioms" and which goes far beyond the domain of geometry.

April 25, 2003 is the date of the centenary of the birth of Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov. The personality and creative contribution of this genius man to the world science and Russian culture are so eminent that the tiniest bits of recollections of anything related to him might be of avail to those pondering over life and its principles. For many years I have heard requests of my friends and colleagues to present for the public my whatever partial overview of the circumstances and events invoked by Merzlyakov's article “The Right of Memory” and in particular the polemic between A. D. Alexandrov and L. S. Pontryagin this article had stirred up. The story to tell is rather ugly and to plunge into it again, reviving the bygones, brings about much discontent and displeasure.
