graduated from Moscow State University in 1954 becoming a professor there in
1967. Since 1965 he has been associated with the V. A. Steklov Institute of
Mathematics of the AN SSSR and the RAS. His work includes the theory of analytic
functions and the theory of approximations. (GSE 30, p. 386.)
Ladyzhenskaia (aya), Olga A., D. PM. S. Born in 1922. Corresponding member of
the AN SSSR since 1981; academician of the RAS in 1992. Since 1962, she has
been Head of the Mathematics Physics Department of the V. A. Steklov Mathematics
Institute Branch Institute in St. Petersburg. According to one Russian
Mathematician, she is the best specialist on partial differential equations in Russia--if
not in the world.
Lavrentiev, Mikhail M. Born in July 1932 in Moscow. Russian mathematician. He has

State University since 1963, holding the chair in mathematical problems in
geophysics. From 1980 to 1986, he directed the Computer Center of the Siberian
Department. In 1986 he was named Director of the Mathematics Institute in
Novosibirsk that was founded in 1957 to research theoretical and applied
mathematics. He is the son of M. A. Lavrentiev, the first Head of the Siberian
Department. He was named to the Presidium of the Siberian Department in 1987.
Since 1988, he has been Head editor of the Siberian Mathematics Journal. He is a
member of the Society of Mathematical Geology. Honored scientist of the former
Soviet Union. He received the Lenin Laureate Prize in 1962, the State prize in 1987.
Recipient of a number of other medals and recognitions. He has been a member of
Mathematics Department Bureau (governing body) of the Russian Academy of
