Extractions: 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 Esuch as Lyapunov, Luzin, Egorov, Kolmogorov, Pontryagin, Vinogradov, Sobolev, Petrovski and Krein Eand their most important works. One can, for example, find works of Lyapunov, which parallel those of PoincarE 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.

"We have to be concerned about defense contractors who have classified information that has to be protected," said Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., a former member of the House Intelligence Committee. Although he has been briefed on the case, Dicks declined comment on the FBI's investigation of Yeremin, a Russian mathematician who had been under contract to Lockheed Martin. Protecting stealth technology should be a top national security concern, Dicks said. "Congress needs to look into this more carefully," he said. "We need to set good policy guidelines about sensitive information."

Landau_Lev The russian physicist considered one of the top theorists of all time http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Landau_Lev.html
Extractions: Version for printing Lev Landau 's mother had trained in medicine and she had undertaken work in physiology, while his father was a petroleum engineer who worked at the oil fields in Baku on the Caspian Sea. Lev was a prodigy in mathematics when he was a child. In fact his achievements at school were such that by the age of thirteen he had completed his secondary schooling and had the qualifications to enter university. His parents did not like the idea that he should begin his university studies a such a young age, and this was almost certainly a wise decision on their part. Lev was sent to Baku Economic Technical School for a year to delay his entry to university studies. Landau was still only fourteen years old when he entered Baku University (later called the Kirov Azerbaijan State University) in 1922 and by this time he was already enthusiastic about mathematics, physics and chemistry. There he studied physics in the department of Mathematics and Physics but he also studied chemistry and, although he did not carry his studies of this topic any further through his university education, it remained one of his life-long interests. In 1924, after two years at Baku University, he moved to the Leningrad State University, graduating in 1927. In fact his first publication appeared in print in the year he graduated, being a paper on quantum theory. He continued research at the Leningrad Physico- Technical Institute.
Sonya Kovalevskaya And The Poetry Of Mathematics russian mathematician, writer and poet, Sonya Kovalevskaya. One of themost prominent mathematicians of our century Weierstrass has said http://www.theater2k.com/SonyaEssay.html
Extractions: brook stowe Writing of Sonya Kovalevskaya shortly before her untimely death in 1891, Russian mathematician P.A. Nekrasov was especially appreciative of his colleague's unique knack for elegant simplicity in an arcanely complex field, noting that "her clever timing is reflected in the adroitly devised gradual transition from the simple to the more complex, in her masterly ability to bring the very difficult [closer] to the less difficult" (Koblitz, 243). Professional elegance and the exceptionally innate ability to distill the dauntingly complex into the readily apparent were lifetime hallmarks of the extraordinary Russian mathematician, writer and poet, Sonya Kovalevskaya. What is nearly as extraordinary is the haphazard and wayward journey which led me to discover her. Trolling about in hopes of dredging up someone around whom to drape both a mathematics requirement, some connection to
Chebyshev to being described as a splendid russian mathematician and said that surelyhe was a worldwide mathematician rather than a russian mathematician. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Chebyshev.html
Extractions: Version for printing Pafnuty Chebyshev 's parents were Agrafena Ivanova Pozniakova and Lev Pavlovich Chebyshev. Pafnuty was born in Okatovo, a small town in western Russia, west of Moscow. At the time of his birth his father had retired from the army, but earlier in his military career Lev Pavlovich had fought as an officer against Napoleon's invading armies. Pafnuty Lvovich was born on the small family estate into a upper class family with an impressive history. Lev Pavlovich and Agrafena Ivanova had nine children some of whom followed in their father's military tradition. Let us say a little about life in Russia at the time Pafnuty Lvovich was growing up. There was a great deal of national pride in the country following the Russian defeat of Napoleon, and their victory led to Russia being viewed by other European countries with a mixture of fear and respect. On the one hand there was those in the country who viewed Russia as superior to other countries and argued that it should isolate itself from them. On the other hand, educated young Russians who had served in the army had seen Europe, learned to read and speak French and German, knew something of European culture, literature, and science, and they argued for a westernisation of the country.

Extractions: Home An extraordinary woman, Sofia Kovalevskaya was not only a great mathematician, but also a writer and advocate of women's rights in the 19th century. It was her struggle to obtain the best education available which began to open doors at universities to women. In addition, her ground-breaking work in mathematics made her male counterparts reconsider their archaic notions of women's inferiority to men in such scientific arenas. Sofia Krukovsky Kovalevskaya was born in 1850. As the child of a Russian family of minor nobility, Sofia was raised in plush surroundings. She was not a typically happy child, though. She felt very neglected as the middle child in the family of a well admired, first-born daughter, Anya, and of the younger male heir, Fedya. For much of her childhood she was also under the care of a very strict governess who made it her personal duty to turn Sofia into a young lady. As a result, Sofia became fairly nervous and withdrawntraits which were evident throughout her lifetime (Perl 127-128). Sofia's exposure to mathematics began at a very young age. She claims to have studied her father's old calculus notes that were papered on her nursery wall in replacement for a shortage of wallpaper. Sofia credits her uncle Peter for first sparking her curiosity in mathematics. He took an interest in Sofia and made time to discuss numerous abstractions and mathematical concepts with her (Rappaport 564). When she was fourteen years old she taught herself trigonometry in order to understand the optics section of a physics book that she was reading. The author of the book and also her neighbor, Professor Tyrtov, was extremely impressed with her capabilities and convinced her father to allow her to go off to school in St. Petersburg to continue her studies (Rappaport 564).
General Information The LMS collaborates with the russian Academy of Sciences and Turpion Ltd to leading russian mathematical periodicals, russian Mathematical Surveys, http://www.lms.ac.uk/contact/general.html
Extractions: The Society was founded in 1865 and was granted a Royal Charter in 1965. The Society was established for the promotion and extension of mathematical knowledge. To this end the Society undertakes various publications and holds regular meetings, conferences and symposia. In spite of its name, the Society is not simply a London society. It is the major British learned society for Mathematics, with a nationwide membership. It also has several hundred overseas members. The Society is registered as a charity with the United Kingdom Charity Commissioners. The affairs of the Society are managed by a Council and Officers . Officers are elected annually, and other Council members biennially, by the Society membership. The Society is able to give financial and other support to a wide range of mathematical activities. It makes grants to conferences and it supports joint research activities linking groups at different Universities. The Society is particularly concerned to provide help for young mathematicians (including research students) in these activities. Further it provides financial support for visitors to the UK who lecture at three or more institutions; it provides small grants to support collaborative research by individuals; and it supports short visits to or from the former Soviet Union. The Society also supports the annual British Mathematical Colloquium and acts as guarantor for it. The Society holds a series of Symposia each summer at the University of Durham, with financial support from the EPSRC. These are working research symposia, each restricted to an international group of about sixty specialists in the chosen field. In addition the Society funds a small number of
Russian Reports He Has Solved A Celebrated Math Problem A russian mathematician is reporting that he has proved the Poincaré In the1950 s, however, a russian mathematician proved that the problem was http://www.math.uic.edu/~agol/blog/15MATH.html
Extractions: Russian mathematician is reporting that he has proved the Poincaré Conjecture, one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics. The mathematician, Dr. Grigori Perelman of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, is describing his work in a series of papers, not yet completed. It will be months before the proof can be thoroughly checked. But if true, it will verify a statement about three-dimensional objects that has haunted mathematicians for nearly a century, and its consequences will reverberate through geometry and physics. If his proof is accepted for publication in a refereed research journal and survives two years of scrutiny, Dr. Perelman could be eligible for a $1 million prize sponsored by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, Mass., for solving what the institute identifies as one of the seven most important unsolved mathematics problems of the millennium. Rumors about Dr. Perelman's work have been circulating since November, when he posted the first of his papers reporting the result on an Internet preprint server.
A Fate Of The Great Mathematical Discoveries When in 1826 the young russian mathematician Nikolay Lobatchevski from the Kazan The famous russian mathematician academician Ostrogradski gave sharply http://www.goldenmuseum.com/1103MathDiscover_engl.html
Extractions: A fate of the great mathematical discoveries Nikolay Lobatchevski (1792 - 1856) Mikhail Ostrogradski (1801 - 1862) And during all his life Lobatchevski was subjected to ridicule on the part of the official Russian academic science of that period. Lobatchevski's recognition came from the West science due the genius mathematician Gauss who became the only mathematician who could access properly Lobatchevski's works in geometry. According to Gauss' proposal Lobatchevski was chosen by the Corresponding Member of the Gettingen scientific society. It was other example from the history of the French 19th century mathematics. The name of the French mathematician Evarist Galois is well-known in mathematics. His mathematical works gave the origin of modern algebra. However at his life Evarist Galois was well-known as revolutionary. For public speeches against royal regime he was twice in prison. In 1832 in the age of 21 he was killed on the duel organized by his enemies. His basic mathematical works named later by his name Evarist Galois obtained in the age of 16-18 when he studied in the Lyceum. Galois sent his works to the Paris Academy of Sciences. However even the greatest French mathematicians Cauchy and Fourier cannot understand Galois works. According to legend, academician Cauchy threw out all mathematical Galois' works to the garbage. Cauchy (1789 - 1857) Galois (1811-1832) Galois' works were read and published for 14 years later of his died. In 1870, that is for 38 years later of his died the famous French mathematician Jordan wrote the book on mathematical Galois' investigations and due this book Galois' theory became common property of the world.
