Jalal Allakhverdiyev belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.
The record lists Jalal Allakhverdiyev as Azerbaijani mathematician.
Jalal Allakhverdiyev was born at Shusha in 1929. His recorded nationality is Russia. He studied at Baku 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 Baku State University.
The recorded fields of work are mathematics and functional analysis.
Mathematics is the one discipline whose results, once proved, are never overturned.
Recognition followed: State Prize of the Azerbaijan SSR.
That the work was done from Russia matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Jalal Allakhverdiyev died in 2017, aged 88. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
