Victor Polterovich

Victor Meerovich Polterovich (born 27 December 1937) is a Russian economist. He was one of the leading figures in mathematical economics in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia, and made several important contributions to general equilibrium theory.[1]

Born in Moscow, he obtained a diploma in engineering from Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas in 1962,[1] before taking post-graduate courses at Moscow State University. After an invitation by Aron Katsenelinboigen, Polterovich joined the Central Economic Mathematical Institute in 1966. While remaining a "simple" research fellow, his research contributions gained international recognition.[1] He was a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Mathematical Economics (1985–2009), and an associate editor of Econometrica (1989–95).

gollark: Oh no. Imagine if you did not have to rote-memorize things as much.
gollark: I mean, dedicated hardware devices for mathy stuff any general purpose computer can do literally thousands of times faster?
gollark: Well, calculators are triangular anyway.
gollark: I'm only missing advanced features like "lists".
gollark: I've managed to get somewhat sort of working markdown to virtual DOM conversion by using the parsing half of an existing Markdown library and a hacky renderer thingy running on the input tokens.
