Yuri Daletskii and the Development of Infinite Dimensional Analysis (original) (raw)
ing the next year, Yuri passed all school exams and was subsequently allowed to complete his university programme. He graduated in 1951, having written several research papers by that time. These works became the foundation of his PhD thesis completed under the supervision of Selim Krein, who played an important role in the development of the functional analysis school in Kiev. Soon after, Selim moved to Voronezh University. Yuri was very close to his teacher, always acknowledged his influence and remained in contact with him for his whole life. In 1951, Yuri took up a position at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute (The National Technical University of Ukraine at present), where he would remain for the entirety of his career, first as an assistant and eventually as a full professor and member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Yuri played a major role in forming the mathematical curriculum of the Institute. In the 70s and 80s he developed the mathematical programmes of the departments of Applied Mathematics, Mathematical Methods of System Analysis and the (new at that time) Faculty of Physics and Technology. Additionally, Yuri was one of the leaders of the successful independent postgraduate programme "Mathematics for Engineers", which was taught in Kiev for nearly two decades. Later, in the 90s, he also led mathematical programmes at the newly-founded Soros University. Very soon Yuri became a significant figure on the Kiev mathematical scene. At that time, mathematical life in Soviet research centres was concentrated around big inter-institutional seminars, famous examples being Gelfand's and Dobrushin's seminars in Moscow. Yuri supervised major Kiev seminars "Random processes and distributions in functional spaces" (together with A. Skorokhod) and "Algebraic Structures in Mathematical Physics". He was also an important contributor to the seminar "Group methods in solid-state physics". Due to his friendly and energetic personality and vast knowledge of a variety of mathematical fields, Yuri played a

One 1 would be hard pressed to find an individual who had a greater influence on mathematical education in the Soviet Union, and later in Russia, than Nikolay Konstantinov. This is especially remarkable since Konstantinov never occupied a position of any importance in the Soviet educational system, and most of the work that he did remained "under the radar" of the Soviet authorities. It is impressive when David defeats Goliath, but it is even more so if Goliath doesn't even realize it.
The Legacy of Vladimir Andreevich Steklov in Mathematical Physics : Work and School
2013
The 150th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Russian mathematician Vladimir Andreevich Steklov falls on 9 January 2014. All over the world, active researchers in all areas of mathematics know his name. Indeed, well-known mathematical institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow and St. Petersburg are named after Steklov. This commemorates that he was the founding father of their predecessor: the PhysicalMathematical Institute established in 1921 in starving Petrograd (the Civil War still persisted in some corners of what would become the USSR the next year). Steklov was the first director of the institute, until his untimely death on 30 May 1926. Meanwhile, Steklov’s personality is less known even in present-day Russia. Of course, the biographical sketch [39] by J. J. O’Connor and E. F. Robertson is available online but still the best source of information about Steklov and his work is the very rare book [16]: the proceedings of a session of the Leningrad Physica...
The Life and Work of Nikolai Vasilevski
Operator theory, 2020
In 1966 Nikolai graduated from Odessa High School Number 116, a school with special emphasis in mathematics and physics, that made a big impact at his creative and active attitude not only to mathematics, but to life in general. It was a very selective high school accepting talented children from all over the city, and famous for a high quality selection of teachers. A creative, nonstandard, and at the same time highly personal approach to teaching was combined at the school with a demanding attitude towards students. His mathematics instructor at the high school was Tatjana Aleksandrovna Shevchenko, a talented and dedicated teacher. The school was also famous because of its quite unusual by Soviet standards system of self-government by the students. Quite a few graduates of the school later became well-known scientists, and really creative researchers. The article consists of the main text of the paper Sergei Grudsky, Yuri Latushkin, Michael Shapiro. The life and work of Nikolai Vasilevski. Operator Theory: Advances and Applications, 210 (2010).

The article examines the development of physics research in Ukraine on the example of the Ukrainian Institute of Physics and Technology (UIPT). Founded on the initiative of the eminent physicist Abram Ioffe, the UIPT has gradually become one of the world's leading research institutions. During 1928-1938, many important events took place at the institute, which became markers for the development of physics in Ukraine and the USSR as well as in the world. An experiment on the fission of atomic nucleus using artificially accelerated protons confirmed the validity of the intentions to reorient research towards nuclear physics. The involvement of foreign specialists in the work of the UIPT contributed to the informal consolidation of scientific thinking in physics. Outstanding physicists of the world such as

was born on 8 October 1944 in Krasnoyarsk, a city in south central Siberia, on the Yenisei river. In 1948, his family moved to Bryansk, a city in Russia which is 369 kilometers southwest of Moscow. He did his primary and secondary school education there. In 1963, he graduated with distinction from Bryansk Technical College of Mechanical Engineering. After three years of service in the Soviet Army, he entered the Mechanics and Mathematics Department of the Moscow State University in 1968. From that point on, his life was closely tied to the university. In 1973, he graduated from the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics with distinction. His diploma thesis [1] was published two years later while he was already working on his Candidate of Sciences thesis. In 1976, he defended this thesis and received his Candidate of Science degree, which in the Soviet Union was the equivalent of a Ph.D. degree. After that he became an assistant professor in the Department and from 1983 till 1992 he was a senior researcher. In 1988, he defended his Doctoral thesis and received his Doctor of Science degree. In the Soviet Union this degree was much higher than the Candidate of Science degree and relatively few mathematicians received it. In 1992, he was appointed Professor at the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics.
