The main goal of the project Math-Net.Ru is to collect scientific publications in Russian and Soviet mathematics journals since their foundation to today and the authors of these publications into a single database and to provide access to…
Egbert Brieskorn died on July 11, 2013, a few days after his 77th birthday. He was an impressive personality who has left a lasting impression on all who knew him, whether inside or outside of mathematics. Brieskorn was a great…
The results of Iv. Prodanov on abstract spectra and separative algebras were announced in the journal "Trudy Mat. Inst. Steklova", 154, 1983, 200--208, but their proofs were never written by him in the form of a manuscript, preprint or…
This is, with minor modifications, a text read at the 114th Statistical Mechanics meeting, in honor of D.Ruelle and Y.Sinai, at Rutgers, Dec.13-15, 2015. It does not attempt to analyze, or not even just quote, all works of David Ruelle; I…
The Mathematical Intelligencer recently published a note by Y. Sergeyev that challenges both mathematics and intelligence. We examine Sergeyev's claims concerning his purported Infinity computer. We compare his grossone system with the…
This is a short memoriam celebrating the life and work of the general relativist Joshua N. Goldberg, who passed away in October, 2020.
We illustrate Archimedes' method using models produced with 3D printers. This approach allowed us to create physical proofs of results known to Archimedes and illustrate ideas of a mathematician who is known both for his for his mechanical…
This is a short overview of the contribution of Leonid Kantorovich into the formation of the modern outlook on the interaction between mathematics and economics.
In this explanatory work, we make an attempt to briefly discuss the work and technical achievements of twenty female mathematicians. The work may be useful as a historical resource, but there is very little biography or history, and the…
This paper describes briefly history and current state of the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, the biggest research mathematical institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences located east to Ural mountains.
In this paper we present a historical and scientific account of the development of the theory of the L\"owner-Kufarev classical and stochastic equations spanning the 90-year period from the seminal paper by K.L\"owner in 1923 to recent…
Professor M. C. Polivanov and I met only a few times, during my infrequent visits to the-then Soviet Union in the 1970's and 1980's. His hospitality at the Moscow Steclov Institute made the trips a pleasure, while the scientific environment…
This paper is an introduction to our ongoing more comprehensive work on a critically important period in the history of Russian mathematics education; it provides a glimpse into the socio-political environment in which the famous Soviet…
Robert F. Coleman, a highly original mathematician who has had a profound influence on modern number theory and arithmetic geometry, passed away on March 24, 2014. We give an overview of his life and career, including some of his major…
In this article dedicated to the memory of Igor D. Chueshov, I first summarize in a few words the joint results that we obtained over a period of six years regarding the long-time behavior of solutions to a class of semilinear stochastic…
