Vyacheslav Shokurov worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Vyacheslav Shokurov as Russian mathematician.
Vyacheslav Shokurov 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 Johns Hopkins University and Steklov Institute of Mathematics.
The recorded fields of work are algebraic geometry and algebra.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
That the work was done from Russia matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
