Aleksandr Korkin
Aleksandr Nikolayevich Korkin (Russian: Александр Николаевич Коркин; 3 March [O.S. 19 February] 1837 – 1 September [O.S. 19 August] 1908) was a Russian mathematician. He made contribution to the development of partial differential equations, and was second only to Chebyshev among the founders of the Saint Petersburg Mathematical School.[1]

gollark: Does this make my orbital laser defenses the state?
gollark: Why? You can just use orbital laser defenses on anyone going after your factory *and* toothbrush.
gollark: Does it matter?
gollark: I don't agree with you.
