Book DetailsHistory of MathematicsVolume: 6; 2007; 306 ppMSC: Primary 01
This volume contains articles on the history of Soviet mathematics, many of which are personal accounts by mathematicians who witnessed and contributed to the turbulent and glorious years of Moscow mathematics. The articles in the book focus on mathematical developments in that era, the personal lives of Russian mathematicians, and political events that shaped the course of scientific work in the Soviet Union. Important contributions include an article about Luzin and his school, based in part on documents that were released only after perestroika, and two articles on Kolmogorov. The volume concludes with annotated bibliographies in English and Russian for further reading.
The revised edition is appended by an article of Tikhomirov, which provides an update and general overview of 20th-century Moscow mathematics, and it also includes an Index of Names.
This book should appeal to mathematicians, historians, and anyone else interested in Soviet mathematical history.
ReadershipUndergraduates, graduate students and research mathematicians interested in the history of mathematics, especially in Russia.
