Investigating drawings represented on the wooden boards, extracted from the burial place of the Egyptian architect Khesi-Ra, the Russian architect Shmelev came to conclusion, that the graphics images represented on Khesi-Ra boards are "Harmony Theory" encoded by geometry language. This theory was the main science of the Egyptian culture. The Theory of Conjugate Measures of the "Double Square" system was developed (Shevelev). This theory allowed deciphering the working methods of determination of the architectural forms by the Egyptian architects and architects of the Antique Classics and Ancient Russia. A new hypothesis about the origin of the Egyptian calendar is put forward (Stakhov, Soroko). According to this hypothesis the Egyptians put in the basis of their calendar and time and angular values measurement system the numerical parameters of such "sacral" figure as Dodecahedron (12, 30, 60 and 360 = 12

A pioneer in non-Euclidean geometry, he challenged Euclid's fifth postulate that one and only one line parallel to a given line can be drawn through a fixed point external to the line; he developed, independently of J¡nos Bolyai, a self-consistent system of geometry (hyperbolic geometry) in which that postulate was replaced by one allowing more than one parallel through the fixed point. Lobachevsky first announced his system in 1826; he subsequently wrote several expositions of it, including Geometrical Researches on the Theory of Parallels (originally pub. 1840 in German; tr. 1891, 1914), and a statement of his completed work, Pang©om©trie (issued 1855 in Russian and French). A graduate of the Univ. of Kazan, he remained there as teacher (1812), professor (1816), and rector (1827). Despite his efficient and devoted service, in 1846 he was relieved by the government of his posts of professor and rector.

    http://chronicle.uchicago.edu/990218/math.shtml
    
    Extractions: News Office A classic mathematics book by a Russian mathematician and mathematics texts from Singapore are providing the foundation for weekly training sessions intended to help nearly 40 Chicago public high school teachers enhance their math instruction skills. The yearlong program, taught in separate seminars by Robert Fefferman, the Louis Block Professor and Chairman of Mathematics, and Robert Zimmer, Senior Associate Provost and the Max Mason Distinguished Service Professor in Mathematics, began in October 1998 and is part of a three-year project to provide additional training in mathematics for Chicago public school teachers. Each seminar also has an experienced instructor: Lydia Polonsky, teacher at the University Laboratory School, and Susan Eddins, a founding teacher of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. The schools and participants in the seminars were selected by two officials of the Chicago Public School Administration, Telkia Rutherford and Clifton Burgess, in cooperation with Paul Vallas, chief executive officer of Chicago Public Schools. The Singapore materials, like many texts from East Asia, are small volumes of problems that students attempt to solve in class and at home. Asian teachers often encourage students to work together on a limited number of problems during the class sessions to develop skills for solving mathematical problems through discussion and teamwork.

69. Sonya Kovalevsky
    of the conservative russian mathematical establishment and reestablished mathematician to have been commemorated on a russian postage stamp, though.  
    http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/Math/Kovalevsky.html
    
    Extractions: "Many who have never had occasion to learn what mathematics is confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it a dry and arid science. In reality, however, it is the science which demands the utmost imagination [which is more than just making things up] ..... It seems to me that the poet must see what others do not see, must look deeper than others look. And the mathematician must do the same thing. As for myself, all my life I have been unable to decide for which I had the greater inclination, mathematics or literature." Regarded as one of world's best mathematicians in her time. First woman member of Russian Academy of Sciences. First modern European woman to attain full professorship. Established first significant result in general theory of partial differential equations. Prix Bordin winner. Editor of prominent mathematics journal. Gifted writer. Sonya (Korin-Kurkovskaya) Kovalevsky grew up a member of Russia's privileged social class. Her father was a military officer and a land holder; her mother, the granddaughter of a famous Russian astronomer, was an accomplished musician. The family lived comfortably on a country estate, where Sonya, her sister and brother were brought up by a nanny until their education was taken over by governesses and private tutors. If Heidelberg was difficult for women, then Berlin was impossible. Women were, without exception, barred from even unofficial or occasional attendance at lectures. Legend has it that, hoping to discourage her, Weierstrass challenged her with a set of problems he had prepared for his more advanced students. She solved them rapidly, and her solutions were clear and original. When Weierstrass ascertained that Sonya's "personality was [strong enough] to offer the necessary guarantees," he agreed to teach her privately. He soon came to regard her as the most brilliant and promising of all his students and shared with her not only all his university lectures but also his ideas and unpublished work.

    Extractions: Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help (b. Bolyai of Hungary, is considered the founder of non-Euclidean geometry. Lobachevsky was the son of an impecunious government official. His entire life centred around the University of Kazan, beginning at age 14, when he entered as a student. In 1811 he received the M.A. degree and then taught, from 1816 as extraordinary professor and from 1822 as ordinary professor. His administrative talents were soon recognized; in 1820 he became dean of the faculty of mathematics and physics, in 1825 university librarian, and in 1827 rector of the university, a position he held, with repeated reelections, until 1846. In all of his duties, he exercised remarkable organizing and educational skill in rescuing the university from the chaotic conditions into which it had drifted. The previous administration had reflected the spirit of the later years of Tsar Alexander I, who was distrustful of modern science and philosophy, particularly that of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, as evil products of the French Revolution and a menace to orthodox religion. The results at Kazan during the years 1819-26 were factionalism, decay of academic standards, dismissals, and departure of some of the best professors, including Johann Martin Christian Bartels, friend of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, and Lobachevsky's teacher of mathematics. In 1826 a more tolerant period was inaugurated with the accession of Tsar Nicholas I, and Lobachevsky became the leading innovator at the university, restoring academic standards and faculty harmony. He was active in saving lives during the cholera epidemic of 1830, in rebuilding several university buildings after a devastating fire in 1842, and in popularizing science and modernizing primary and secondary education in the region of Kazan. Although burdened with this work, in addition to a heavy administrative teaching load, he still found time for extensive mathematical research.

    Extractions: Main research subjects We consider Markov processes, with countable set of states, interpreted as systems of particles of several types that interact as complexes for which the result of interaction with a complex of particles does not depend on the presence of other particles in the system. The apparatus of multivariate generating functions is used to find exact closed solutions of the first and second Kolmogorov system of differential equations for the transition probabilities. In our examples analytic methods are used to consider actual transmutation processes of particles in diverse domains of science. The transition probabilities of Markov processes with countable state space satisfy the first and second systems of differential equations, which are linear. The Markov branching process introduced in [Kolmogorov A.N., Dmitriev N.A. Random branching processes. Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR, 1947, v. 56, no. 1, p. 7-10. (In Russian.)] was described as a process of evolution of particles; under the assumption that the individual evolving particles are independent of one another, a non-linear first-order differential equation was obtained in [DAN, 1947] for the generating functions of transition probabilities of such a process. The authors of the paper stressed: " ... the remark shows that our ’branching stochastic processes’ are in fact only a special case

A version of what is now known as Bayes’ theorem was used in his paper "Essay towards solving a problem in the doctrine of chances," published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London in 1764. James Bernoulli was the first of the famous Bernoulli family of Swiss mathematicians. He wrote one of the early books devoted to probability, Ars Conjectandi , which was published after his death in 1713. Bernoulli formulated the version of the law of large numbers for independent trials, now called Bernoulli trials, and studied the binomial distribution. Buffon was the director of the Paris Jardin du Roi and was best known during his time for his thirty-six volume work on natural history. Buffon's famous coin and needle problems are considered to be among the first problems in geometric probability. Cardano, who lived in Italy, was a man of many interests: law, medicine, astrology, gambling, and mathematics. His book Liber de Ludo Aleae (The Book on Games of Chance), published after his death in 1663, contained perhaps the first mathematical analysis of gambling.
