Department of Probability
Theory
Moscow, Moscow State
University
named after M.V. Lomonosov
The
Faculty of Mechanics & Mathematics was organized in Moscow University in
1933, composed of which the Department of Probability Theory was founded
in 1935, the latter became one of basic centre of excellence and
scientific researches in the field of probability calculus and
mathematical statistics in our country.
Many Soviet and Russian
scientists of this study are proud that they were students of the Chair.
The first curator of the Chair
was his founder - Kolmogorov Andrey Nikolaevitch, Academician of Academy
of Sciences of the USSR, who had been chaired from 1935 to 1966. In 1966
Kolmogorov left the Chair, and Gnedenko Boris Vladimirovich, Academician
of Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and
Kolmogorov’s student and closed associate, became a curator and chaired
till 1995. In September 1996 a corresponding member of Academy of
Sciences of the USSR, Albert Nikolaevitch Shiryaev was elected as a
curator of Chair of Probability Calculus.
Many outstanding Russian mathematicians who was studying Probability
Theory worked at the Department in different years: A.Ya. Hinchin (1894
- 1959), A.N. Kolmogorov (1903 - 1987), V.V. Nalimov (1910 - 1997), B.V.
Gnedenko (1912 - 1995), L.N. Bol’shev (1922 - 1978), A.D. Solovjev (1927
- 2001), R.L. Dobrushin (1929 - 1995), N.N. Chentsov (1930 - 1992),
I.V. Girsanov (1934 - 1967), V.V. Kalashnikov (1942 - 2001).
Nowadays well-known scientists in the field of probability calculus,
statistics and stochastic process are working at the Department.
Many great specialists who were the students of the Department now are
Doctors of Science and academicians of Academy of Sciences of Russia and
former Soviet republics.
