Aleksey Semyonov

Russian mathematician

Aleksey Semyonov is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.

The record lists Aleksey Semyonov as Russian mathematician.

Aleksey Semyonov was born at Moscow in 1950. His recorded nationality is Russia. He studied at MSU Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics and Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.

His academic posts were held at Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

The recorded fields of work are mathematical logic, cybernetics and mathematics.

Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.

The honours record reads: Order of Friendship, Order of Honour, Medal "In Commemoration of the 850th Anniversary of Moscow" and Russian President's Prize in the field of education.

That the work was done from Russia matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
