Advanced Training for the Professors of Mathematics by HSE ICRT
During the course, participants learned about the lives of famous mathematicians associated with Nizhny Novgorod. The course was attended by teachers from Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Demidov Yaroslavl State University, as well as representatives of other universities. Participants of Topological Methods in Dynamics and Related Fields conference were able to take the course as well. This event was organised by the Department of Fundamental Mathematics of HSE University and the Laboratory of Dynamic and Control Systems of Lobachevsky University. A total of seventy-six students from eighteen universities, research centres and institutions attended the courses, including forty-six university lecturers from thirteen Russian regions. There were forty candidates of science and nine doctors of science among the participants.
As Elena Talanova, associate professor of Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University, noted, after taking the course, Nizhny Novgorod Mathematical Society has always been active in coordinating efforts aimed at preserving and developing mathematical research, mathematical education and mathematical education in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
"Grigory Polotovsky, the inspiration behind the Mathematical Society of Nizhny Novgorod, has put a lot of effort into the historical preservation of the names of Nizhny Novgorod mathematicians. The course “History and Modernity of the Qualitative Theory of Dynamical Systems in Nizhny Novgorod” became another important piece of the history of Nizhny Novgorod mathematics," said Elena Talanova.
Oleg Anashkin, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, professor at the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, pointed out that the course he took was dedicated to the life and work of a number of well-known Russian mathematicians, mainly those associated with Nizhny Novgorod either by origin or by place of work. “I learned a lot of useful things, not only in historical, but also in mathematical context”, - emphasized the researcher.
“The Nizhny Novgorod school of nonlinear oscillations is widely known outside of Nizhny Novgorod and Russia,” added Vladimir Kocharovsky, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences and professor at the Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. “The course “History and Modernity of the Qualitative Theory of Dynamical Systems in Nizhny Novgorod” allowed me to feel and understand what this school is doing today. Many thanks to the brilliant storytellers and excellent mathematicians Vyacheslav Grines and Evgeny Zhuzhoma, who were active participants in the Andronov school in its heyday.”
The head of the International Centre for Research and Teaching, Ilya Samonenko, concluded by stressing that similar training courses for teachers will be organised by the Centre in other regions. “One of HSE ICRT's key areas of work is the organization of seminars and advanced training courses, primarily for mathematics and computer science professors. Our courses will allow researchers to expand their knowledge and get recommendations on teaching,” Ilya Samonenko said.
