Jacob David Tamarkin<\/a> (\u042f\u043a\u043e\u0432 \u0414\u0430\u0432\u044b\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0447 \u0422\u0430\u043c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0438\u043d<\/a>)\u00a0– outstanding Russian-American mathematician,\u00a0best known for his work in mathematical analysis.<\/span>\u00a0Graduated from the\u00a0Second Saint Petersburg Gymnasium, where he was a schoolmate friend of Alexander Friedmann<\/a>. While still in gymnasium Tamakin and Friedman co-authored a paper on the Bernulli numbers, that was published in a respected German journal\u00a0Mathematische Annalen. <\/i>After the gymnasium Tamarkin studied at the physico-mathematical faculty of the Saint Petersburg University. There he trained and worked under the supervision of Vladimir Steklov<\/a>. After the graduation Tamakin prepared and defended a dissertation in the field of differential equations from the same University under supervision of Andrei Markov<\/a>. In 1919-1920 he was a professor and acting dean of physics-mathematical college in Perm University. In 1925 emigrated to United States, and soon became a faculty in Brown University (Providence, RI), where he worked till his passing. Created the scientific school, supervised over dozen dissertations. Was a friend and collaborator of Norbert Wiener<\/a>,\u00a0the originator of cybernetics. Was greatly respected and trusted by his colleagues, was served a vice president of the American Mathematical Society and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.<\/span><\/p>\n
