Memorial plaque correspondent member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Naumu Akhiezer was opened today, May 24, at the house on the street. Bagaleia, 17.

In the house on the street. Bagaleia, 17 scientist lived from 1948 to 1980. Naum Akhiezer is considered one of the creators of the Ukrainian mathematical school. For many years he was president of the Kharkov Mathematical Society, a professor of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of the Kharkov State University (now Kharkiv National University named after V. Karazin).

It was Nahum Akhiezer who created the famous not only in Kharkov, but also outside of it a specialized physics and mathematics school No. 27 (now - the Kharkov Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 27) and the correspondence youth mathematics school at the Kharkov State University. In memory of the scientist, the H. Akhiezer, whose goal is to support young mathematicians (students, graduate students, beginning scientists).

A mathematician, Academician Vladimir Marchenko, wrote about Naum Ahiezer: "Naum Ilyich's mathematical works have long become classics. The ideas and methods incorporated in them are successfully used in modern works. Numerous masterfully written monographs and textbooks by Naum Ilyich became reference books for specialists. They are translated into almost all foreign languages ??and are very popular ".

The memorial plaque was established in accordance with the decision of the executive committee of the Kharkiv City Council. It was produced on the initiative and financial support of the Kharkiv regional committee "Drobitsky Yar" and the Kharkov museum of the Holocaust.

"In life Naum Ilich was modest, kind and benevolent. He was always ready to help any person who turned to him. These excellent human qualities, combined with the broadest scientific knowledge and powerful scientific potential, earned him deep respect and love from a large number of people who had the good fortune to be acquainted with him, "noted in the Kharkiv regional committee" Drobitsky Yar ".

reference. Naum Ilyich Akhiezer was born on March 6, 1901 in the town of Cherikov, Mogilev Province, in the family of a zemstvo doctor.

Naum Ilyich had a great desire to continue his studies, and he entered the University of Kiev, passed the exams for two years, graduated from the postgraduate course and began to teach there. Later Naum Akhiezer was invited to Kharkov, and for a long time he taught mathematics in the two largest Kharkov universities - the Polytechnic Institute (KPI) and the University (KSU). In addition to higher education, Naum Ilich worked fruitfully for many years in the then existing in Kharkov Institute of Mathematics.

In KSU Naum Akhiezer defended his doctoral dissertation, headed the department of theory of functions, later worked on it as a professor until the end of his life - 1980.

The mathematician published 150 scientific papers, including ten monographs, nine of which were translated and published in many countries of the world. Naumu Akhiezer was famous for his work on the theory of functions and mathematical physics. Naum Akhiezer was awarded one of the highest Soviet mathematical awards - the Prize named after P. Chebyshev Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
