Naum Ya. Vilenkin

Naum Yakovlevich Vilenkin, Russian: Наум Яковлевич Виленкин, (October 30, 1920, Moscow — 1991, Moscow) was a Soviet mathematician, an expert in combinatorics. He is best known as the author of many books in recreational mathematics aimed at middle and high school students.

Biography

Vilenkin studied at the Moscow State University where he was a student of A.G. Kurosh. He received his habilitation in 1950; and was awarded the Ushinsky prize for his school mathematics textbooks in 1976.

gollark: This occurs in the final phase of potatoBIOS initialization:```luaif potatOS.registry.get "potatOS.immutable_global_scope" then setmetatable(_G, { __newindex = function(_, x) error(("cannot set _G[%q] - _G is immutable"):format(tostring(x)), 0) end })endif meta then _G.meta = meta.new() endif _G.textutilsprompt then textutils.prompt = _G.textutilsprompt endif process then process.spawn(keyboard_shortcuts, "kbsd") if http.websocket then process.spawn(skynet.listen, "skynetd") process.spawn(potatoNET, "systemd-potatod") end local autorun = potatOS.registry.get "potatOS.autorun" if type(autorun) == "string" then autorun = load(autorun) end if type(autorun) == "function" then process.spawn(autorun, "autorun") end if potatOS.registry.get "potatOS.extended_monitoring" then process.spawn(excessive_monitoring, "extended_monitoring") end if run then process.spawn(run_shell, "ushell") endelse if run then print "Warning: no process manager available.

gollark: (this applies after all the legacy `os.loadAPI` stuff loads anyway)
gollark: Too bad.
gollark: I would apply this to the various `_ENV`s, except that probably would break shell.
gollark: I *could* have a "strict" option where it makes all the tables immutable too, I suppose.
