Professor Alexander Alekseevich Bobrov (1850–1904)

R-MODULES FOR THE ALEXANDER COHOMOLOGY THEORY APPROVED: Major Professor

The Alexander Wallace Spanier cohomology theory associates with an arbitrary topological space an abelian group. In this paper, an arbitrary topological space is associated with an R-module. The construction of the R-module is similar to the Alexander Wallace Spanier construction of the abelian group. In Chapter I, the algebraic and topological material necessary to construct the theor'y is lis...

Professor Robert McNeill Alexander CBE FRS (1934-2016).

Robert McNeill Alexander, known to friends and colleagues as 'Neill', was a zoologist with an engineer's eye for how animals work. He used mathematical models to show how evolution has produced optimal designs. His skill was to choose appropriate models: realistic enough to contain the essence of a problem and yet simple enough to be tractable. He wrote fluently and easily: 23 books, 280 papers...

Vyacheslav Alekseevich Oleinikov (obituary)

On the night of 4 — 5 March 1989 Vyacheslav Alekseevich Oleinikov, professor of the theory of functions and functional analysis in the faculty of mechanics and mathematics of Moscow State University, died tragically in a fire at his house outside Moscow. Oleinikov was born on 10 March 1939 in Moscow. In 1956 he enrolled in the faculty of mechanics and mathematics of Moscow State University. Aft...

As a former student of Professor Ostrowski—one of his last— I am delighted to recall here the life and work of one of the great mathematicians of the 20th century. Needless to say that, in view of Ostrowski’s immense and vastly diverse mathematical legacy, this can be done only in a most summary fashion. Further literature on Ostrowski can be found in some of the references at the end of this a...
