Mikhail Kadets
Mikhail Iosiphovich Kadets (, , sometimes transliterated as Kadec, 30 November 1923 – 7 March 2011) was a Soviet-born Jewish mathematician working in analysis and the theory of Banach spaces. Life and work Kadets was born in Kyiv. In 1943, he was drafted into the army. After demobilisation in 1946, he studied at Kharkov University, graduating in 1950.

Vladimir Kadets
Vladimir (, , pre-1918 orthography: ) is a masculine given name of Slavic origin, widespread throughout all Slavic nations in different forms and spellings. The earliest record of a person with the name is Vladimir of Bulgaria (). Etymology The Old East Slavic form of the name is Володимѣръ ''Volodiměr'', while the Old Church Slavonic form is ''Vladiměr''. According to Max Vasmer, the name is composed of Slavic владь ''vladĭ'' "to rule" and ''*mēri'' "great", "famous" (related to Gothic element ''mērs'', ''-mir'', cf. Theode''mir'', Vala''mir''). The modern ( pre-1918) Russian forms Владимиръ and Владиміръ are based on the Church Slavonic one, with the replacement of мѣръ by миръ or міръ resulting from a folk etymological association with миръ "peace" or міръ "world".

Alexandre Eremenko
Alexandre Emanuilovych Eremenko (born 1954) is a Ukrainian-American mathematician who works in the fields of complex analysis and dynamical systems. Academic career Eremenko was born into a medical family in Kharkiv, Ukraine. His father was a pathophysiologist, professor and head of the Department of pathophysiology at Ternopil National Medical University. His mother was an ophthalmologist. He obtained his master's degree from Lviv University in 1976 and worked in the Institute of Low temperature physics and Engineering in Kharkiv until 1990. He received his PhD from Rostov State University in 1979 ''(Asymptotic Properties of Meromorphic and Subharmonic Functions),'' and is currently a distinguished professor at Purdue University. In complex dynamics, Eremenko explored escaping sets at the iteration of entire, transcendent functions and conjectured that the connected components of this escaping set are unbounded ''(Eremenko's conjecture).'' The conjecture is still open, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gershon Drinfeld
According to the Torah, Gershon ( ''Gērǝšôn'') was the eldest of the sons of Levi, and the patriarchal founder of the Gershonites, one of the four main divisions among the Levites in biblical times. The Gershonites were charged with the care of the outer tabernacle including components such as the tent and its covering, screens, doors, and hangings. Biblical scholars regard the name as being essentially the same as "Gershom" ( ''Gēršōm''), which appears to mean "a sojourner there" (גר שם), and it is Gershom rather than Gershon who is sometimes listed in the Book of Chronicles as a founder of one of the principal Levite factions. The Torah names Gershon's sons as Libni and Shimei. Textual scholars attribute the genealogy to the Book of Generations, a document originating from a religiopolitical group similar to that behind the Priestly source, and at a similar date. According to some biblical scholars, the Torah's genealogy for Levi's descendants is actually reflectin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vladimir Drinfeld
Vladimir Gershonovich Drinfeld (; born February 14, 1954), surname also romanized as Drinfel'd, is a mathematician from Ukraine, who immigrated to the United States and works at the University of Chicago. Drinfeld's work connected algebraic geometry over finite fields with number theory, especially the theory of automorphic forms, through the notions of elliptic module and the theory of the geometric Langlands correspondence. Drinfeld introduced the notion of a quantum group (independently discovered by Michio Jimbo at the same time) and made important contributions to mathematical physics, including the ADHM construction of instantons, algebraic formalism of the quantum inverse scattering method, and the Drinfeld–Sokolov reduction in the theory of solitons. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1990. In 2016, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. In 2018 he received the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. In 2023 he was awarded the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dmitry Grave
Dmytro Oleksandrovych Grave (, ; 6 September 1863 – 19 December 1939) was a Ukrainian, Russian and Soviet mathematician. Naum Akhiezer, Nikolai Chebotaryov, Mikhailo Kravchuk, and Boris Delaunay were among his students. Brief history Dmitry Grave was educated at the University of St Petersburg where he studied under Chebyshev and his students Korkin, Zolotarev and Markov. Grave began research while a student, graduating with his doctorate in 1896. He had obtained his master's degree in 1889 and, in that year, began teaching at the University of St Petersburg. For his master's degree Grave studied Jacobi's methods for the three-body problem, a topic suggested by Korkin. His doctorate was on map projections, again a topic proposed by Korkin, the degree being awarded in 1896. The work, on equal area plane projections of the sphere, built on ideas of Euler, Joseph Louis Lagrange and Chebyshev. Grave became professor at Kharkiv University in 1897 (Kharkiv, Ukraine) and, fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Valentina Borok
Valentina Mikhailovna Borok (9 July 1931 – 4 February 2004) was a Ukrainian mathematician. She is mainly known for her work on partial differential equations. Life Borok was born on July 9, 1931, in Kharkiv in Ukraine (then USSR), into a Jewish family. Her father, Michail Borok, was a chemist, scientist and an expert in material science. Her mother, Bella Sigal, was a well-known economist. Because of her mothers' high position at the ministry of Economics, Valentina Borok had a privileged early childhood. However, because of the political situation, her mother voluntarily resigned in 1937, and took a lower position, presumably because she knew she couldn't possibly have been spared the repressions of the late 1930s. This possibly helped the Borok family survive World War II. Valentina Borok had a talent for math even in her high school years. So in 1949, with the advice of her high school teachers Borok started to study Mathematics at Kyiv State University. There she met Ya ...
