Alexei Kostrikin

Alexei Ivanovich Kostrikin (Russian: Алексей Иванович Кострикин) (12 February 1929 – 22 September 2000) was a Russian mathematician, specializing in algebra and algebraic geometry.

Life

Kostrikin graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at Moscow State University in 1952. In 1960, he earned a Doctor of Sciences degree under Igor Shafarevich at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics with a thesis on the Burnside problem.[1] He became a faculty member at Moscow State University in 1963 and became a professor at the same university in 1976. In 1998, he became Honoured Professor of Moscow State University.

Prizes

Kostrikin was awarded the USSR State Prize in 1968 for his research on finite groups and Lie algebras and was elected the corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1976.

Books

Alexei Kostrikin published many scientific articles, books and textbooks, including a university textbook about algebra Introduction to algebra, translated into English and other languages.
