Yury Yegorov worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Yury Yegorov as Russian mathematician (1938-2018).
Yury Yegorov was born at Moscow in 1938. 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 Lomonosov Moscow State University.
The recorded fields of work are mathematical physics, mathematics and applied mathematics.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
The honours record reads: USSR State Prize.
That the work was done from Russia matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Yury Yegorov died in 2018, aged 80. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
