tailieunhanh - Mathematical Events of the Twentieth Century

Russian mathematics (later Soviet mathematics, and Russian mathematics once again) occupies a special place in twentieth-century mathematics. In addition to its well-known achievements, Russian mathematics established a unique style of research based on the existence of prominent mathematical schools. These schools were headed by recognized leaders, who became famous due to their talents and outstanding contributions to science. | Mathematical Events of the Twentieth Century Mathematical Events of the Twentieth Century Edited by A.
