Anatolii Goldberg

Soviet and Israeli mathematician

Anatolii Goldberg worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.

The record lists Anatolii Goldberg as Soviet and Israeli mathematician.

Anatolii Goldberg was born at Kyiv in 1930. His recorded nationality is Russia. He studied at Faculty of Physics of the Lviv University and Lviv University.

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

His academic posts were held at Lviv University, Bar-Ilan University and Uzhhorod National University.

The recorded fields of work are mathematical analysis and mathematics.

A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.

The honours record reads: State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology (1992).

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

Anatolii Goldberg died in 2008, aged 78. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
