Saint Petersburg State University Mathematics And Mechanics Faculty
The Saint Petersburg State University Mathematics and Mechanics Faculty is a research and education center in the fields of mathematics, mechanics, astronomy, and computer science. Early history In 1701 Tsar Peter the Great, Peter I issued a decree founding a school of mathematical and navigation sciences. In 1724 the Russian Academy of Sciences, the , and the Academic Gymnasium were founded. This marked the beginning of the famous Saint Petersburg Mathematical School. When Saint Petersburg University was founded in 1819, the department of mathematics at the created four departments: pure mathematics, applied mathematics, astronomy, and physics. Gradually expanding, this department survived for over a century. By 1930, the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics had become a formal union of independent departments: mathematics, mechanics, astronomy-geodesy, physics, and geography (in 1929–1930, the Saint Petersburg State University Institute of Chemistry, State University Institute ...

Grigori Perelman
Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman (, ; born 13June 1966) is a Russian mathematician and geometer who is known for his contributions to the fields of geometric analysis, Riemannian geometry, and geometric topology. In 2005, Perelman resigned from his research post in Steklov Institute of Mathematics and in 2006 stated that he had quit professional mathematics, owing to feeling disappointed over the ethical standards in the field. He lives in seclusion in Saint Petersburg and has declined requests for interviews since 2006. In the 1990s, partly in collaboration with Yuri Burago, Mikhael Gromov, and Anton Petrunin, he made contributions to the study of Alexandrov spaces. In 1994, he proved the soul conjecture in Riemannian geometry, which had been an open problem for the previous 20 years. In 2002 and 2003, he developed new techniques in the analysis of Ricci flow, and proved the Poincaré conjecture and Thurston's geometrization conjecture, the former of which had been a famous op ...
