This groundbreaking work features two essays written by the renowned mathematician Ilan Vardi. The first essay presents a thorough analysis of contrived problems suggested to “undesirable” applicants to the Department of Mathematics of Moscow University. His second essay gives an in-depth discussion of solutions to the Year 2000 International Mathematical Olympiad, with emphasis on the comparison of the olympiad problems to those given at the Moscow University entrance examinations.The second part of the book provides a historical background of a unique phenomenon in mathematics, which flourished in the 1970s-80s in the USSR. Specially designed math problems were used not to test students' ingenuity and creativity but, rather, as “killer problems,” to deny access to higher education to “undesirable” applicants. The focus of this part is the 1980 essay, “Intellectual Genocide”, written by B Kanevsky and V Senderov. It is being published for the first time. Also featured is a little-known page of the Soviet history, a rare example of the oppressed organizing to defend their dignity. This is the story of the so-called Jewish People's University, the inception of which is associated with Kanevsky, Senderov and Bella Subbotovskaya.

What Happened to the Soviet University? explores how one of the largest geopolitical changes of the twentieth century—the dissolution of the Soviet Union— triggered and inspired the reconfiguration of the Soviet university. The reader is invited to engage in a historical and sociological analysis of radical and incremental changes affecting sixty-nine former Soviet universities since the early 1990s. The study departs from traditional deficit-oriented, internalist explanations of change and illustrates how global flows of ideas, people, and finances have impacted higher education transformations in this region. It also identifies areas of persistence. The processes of marketisation, internationalisation, and academic liberation are analysed to show that universities have maintained certain traditions while adopting and internalising new ways of fulfilling their education and research functions. Soviet universities have survived chaotic processes of post-Soviet transformation and have self-stabilised with time. Most of them remain flagship institutions with large numbers of students and relatively high research productivity. At the same time, the majority of these universities operate in a top-down, one-man management environment with limited institutional autonomy and academic freedom. As the homes of intellectuals, universities represent a duality of opportunity and threat. Universities can nurture collective possibilities, imagining and bringing about different futures. At the same time, or perhaps because of this, the probability is high that universities will continue to be perceived as threats to governments with authoritarian inclinations. One message to take away from this monograph is that the time is ripe for former Soviet universities to loosen their last remaining chains.

This volume is a tribute to one of the founders of modern theory of dynamical systems, the late Dmitry Victorovich Anosov. It contains both original papers and surveys, written by some distinguished experts in dynamics, which are related to important themes of Anosov's work, as well as broadly interpreted further crucial developments in the theory of dynamical systems that followed Anosov's original work. Also included is an article by A. Katok that presents Anosov's scientific biography and a picture of the early development of hyperbolicity theory in its various incarnations, complete and partial, uniform and nonuniform.

Proven solutions to transform a healthcare system in crisis Part biography and part clear-eyed examination of a healthcare system in crisis, Hospital, Heal Thyself: One Brilliant Mathematician's Proven Plan for Saving Hospital, Many Lives. and Billions of Dollars tells the story of enigmatic healthcare visionary Eugene Litvak, whose research and strategies have already been implemented at many top 12-ranked hospitals to save hundreds of millions of dollars and countless thousands of patient lives. While U.S. healthcare costs continue to skyrocket, Litvak's program described in this book offers tested, effective methods to trim those costs while simultaneously improving patient outcomes. Written by veteran prize-winning healthcare journalist Mark Taylor, this book includes compelling discussion on: How hospital and emergency room overcrowding has harmful and potentially deadly effects on patients and staff How Litvak's algorithms and complex mathematical theories help hospitals staff appropriately to safely manage patient flow How applying Litvak's unique patient flow interventions improves nurse retention in an era of mass nurse exodus Litvak's methods have been proven to work in the best hospitals in America and the world. Studies in the top medical journals confirm their success in reducing medical errors; hospital and emergency room overcrowding; nurse and physician burnout and stress and patient mortality rates. They've saved millions of dollars for each hospital adopting them, while improving patient satisfaction and outcomes, nurse retention, hospital efficiency and addressing healthcare disparities and inequities. Distilling complex ideas into accessible language, Hospital, Heal Thyself: A Mathematician's Proven Plan for Saving American Hospitals Many Lives and Billions of Dollars is a timely, essential read for all medical practitioners and healthcare administrators and staff who want to play their part in transforming modern healthcare, and the world, for the better.

Alexander Reznikov (1960-2003) was a brilliant and highly original mathematician. This book presents 18 articles by prominent mathematicians and is dedicated to his memory. In addition it contains an influential, so far unpublished manuscript by Reznikov of book length. The book further provides an extensive survey on Kleinian groups in higher dimensions and some articles centering on Reznikov as a person.

Πορτρέτα τριάντα πέντε πρωτοπόρων γυναικών μαθηματικών, οι οποίες σε διάφορες ιστορικές περιόδους, χώρες και πολιτισμούς, υπερβαίνοντας εμπόδια και προκαταλήψεις, συνέβαλαν καθοριστικά στην εξέλιξη της επιστήμης. Για τις γυναίκες αυτές, όμως, η Ιστορία και οι ιστορίες των μαθηματικών δεν έχουν αφιερώσει παρά μόνο σύντομα σχόλια ή ελάχιστες αναφορές στο περιθώριό τους ή τις έχουν εντελώς αγνοήσει. Λέγεται συχνά ότι η Ιστορία γράφεται από τους νικητές, αλλά η ιστορία των μαθηματικών γράφτηκε από τους άνδρες, τους νικητές στον άδικο πόλεμο των μύθων και των προκαταλήψεων σε βάρος διαπρεπών γυναικών μαθηματικών. Μια αδικία που το βιβλίο αυτό επιδιώκει να αποκαταστήσει. • ΠΑΝΔΡΟΣΙΩΝ • ΣΟΥΤΕΪΤΑ ΑΛ ΜΑΧΑΜΑΛΙ • ΜΑΡΙ ΚΡΑΟΥΣ ΜΑΡΙΑ ΓΚΑΕΤΑΝΑ ΑΝΙΕΖΙ • ΓΟΥΑΝΚ ΖΕΪΝΙ • ΦΛΟΡΕΝΣ ΝΑΪΤΙΝΓΚΕΪΛ ΚΡΙΣΤΙΝ ΛΑΝΤ ΦΡΑΝΚΛΙΝ • ΕΛΕΝ ΑΜΑΝΤΑ ΧΕΪΣ • ΣΑΡΛΟΤ ΣΚΟΤ ΑΛΙΣΙΑ ΜΠΟΥΛ ΣΤΟΤ • ΓΚΡΕΪΣ ΤΣΙΣΟΛΜ ΓΙΟΥΝΓΚ • ΦΙΛΙΠΑ ΦΟΣΕΤ ΒΙΡΤΖΙΝΙΑ ΡΑΓΚΣΝΤΕΪΛ • ΛΑΟΥΡΑ ΠΙΖΑΤΙ ΜΑΡΓΚΕΡΙΤΑ ΠΙΑΤΣΟΛΑ ΜΠΕΛΟΧ • ΧΊΛΝΤΑ ΦΟΙΒΗ ΧΑΝΤΣΟΝ ΕΜΙ ΝΕΤΕΡ • ΑΝΝΑ ΤΖΟΝΣΟΝ ΠΕΛ ΟΥΑΪΛΕΡ ΛΟΥΙΖ ΠΕΤΡΕΝ ΟΒΕΡΤΟΝ • ΧΙΛΝΤΑ ΓΚΈΪΡΙΝΓΚΕΡ ΓΚΕΡΤΡΟΥΝΤ ΜΠΛΑΝΚ • ΜΑΙΡΗ ΛΟΥΣΙ ΚΑΡΤΡΑΪΤ ΓΚΡΕΤΕ ΧΕΡΜΑΝ • ΝΙΝΑ ΚΑΡΛΟΒΝΑ ΜΠΑΡΙ • ΜΑΡΙΟΝ ΓΚΡΕΪ ΜΑΡΙ ΛΟΥΙΖ ΝΤΟΥΜΠΡΕΪΛ ΤΖΑΚΟΤΕΝ • ΡΟΥΘ ΜΟΥΦΑΝΓΚ ΡΟΖΑ ΠΕΤΕΡ • ΟΛΓΑ ΤΑΟΥΣΚΙ ΤΟΝΤ • ΚΟΡΑ ΣΟΥΖΑΝΑ ΣΑΝΤΟΣΚΙ ΝΤΟΡΟΘΙ ΜΑΧΑΡΑΜ ΣΤΟΟΥΝ • ΤΖΟΥΛΙΑ ΡΟΜΠΙΝΣΟΝ ΟΛΓΑ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΤΡΟΒΝΑ ΛΑΝΤΙΖΕΝΣΚΑΓΙΑ ΜΑΙΡΗ ΕΛΕΝ ΡΟΥΝΤΙΝ • ΜΑΡΙΝΑ ΡΑΤΝΕΡ Η ανάπτυξη της μαθηματικής γνώσης εξαρτάται σε μεγάλο βαθμό από την κοινότητα μέσα στην οποία το νόημα των νέων μαθηματικών αντικειμένων και πρακτικών γίνεται θέμα συζήτησης και η σημασία τους ανάγεται σε ζήτημα διαπραγμάτευσης και τελικά αποδοχής ή απόρριψης. Οι δυνατότητες και οι ευκαιρίες των γυναικών να καθιερωθούν ως ακαδημαϊκοί ή και ως ερευνήτριες μαθηματικοί εξαρτώνται, σε μεγάλο βαθμό, από την πρόσβασή τους σε αυτή την κοινότητα και την αποδοχή τους από αυτή. Φαίνεται, όμως, ότι η διαδικασία πρόσβασης και αποδοχής είναι διαφορετική για τις γυναίκες από ό,τι για τους άνδρες. Οι αιτίες είναι πολλαπλές, αντικειμενικές ή και υποκειμενικές, αλλά πάντα κοινωνικά κατασκευασμένες. […] Ο πρώτος και πολύ καθοριστικός λόγος για τον οποίο αποκλείστηκαν οι γυναίκες από τα μαθηματικά είναι ιδεολογικός· είναι οι βαθιά ριζωμένες και ευρέως διαδεδομένες προκαταλήψεις, σύμφωνα με τις οποίες οι γυναίκες δεν διαθέτουν τις νοητικές ικανότητες για να σπουδάσουν μαθηματικά και να επιδοθούν στη μαθηματική έρευνα.
