Valentin Afraimovich

Valentin Afraimovich (Russian: Валентин Сендерович Афраймович, 2 April 1945, Kirov, Kirov Oblast, USSR – 21 February 2018, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia[1]) was a Soviet, Russian and Mexican mathematician. He made contributions to dynamical systems theory, qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations, bifurcation theory, concept of attractor,[2] strange attractors, space-time chaos, mathematical models of nonequilibrium media and biological systems, traveling waves in lattices, complexity of orbits and dimension-like characteristics in dynamical systems.[3]

Biography

He got his Ph.D. (Kandidat) degree in 1974 at the Nizhny Novgorod State University under the advice of L. P. Shil’nikov. Also in 1990 he received his Doctor of Science degree in Mathematics and Physics, at Saratov State University in Russia. After then, he held several academic positions, including:

Afraimovich's students include Mark Shereshevsky, Nizhny Novgorod 1990; Todd Ray Young, Atlanta, Georgia, 1995; Antonio Morante, San Luis Potosí (SLP) México, 2002; Salomé Murgia, SLP México, 2003; Alberto Cordonet, SLP Mexico, 2002; Francisco Ordaz, SLP Mexico, 2004; Leticia Ramirez, SLP Mexico, 2005; Irma Tristan-Lopez, SLP Mexico, 2010; Rosendo Vazquez-Bañuelos, 2013.

gollark: If your response isn't to think "hmm I may try searching the internet to find the answer or a way to do this" then you are an octahedron.
gollark: It's not complicated. Linux coreutils has the `factor` command to uninstall it, and there are a ton of web calculators.
gollark: Orrrrr just uninstall it?
gollark: You can't CLEAR it but you can MODIFY it.
gollark: Yes you can.
