Yulian Vasilievich Sokhotski
Yulian Karl Vasilievich Sokhotsky (Юлиан Карл Васильевич Сохоцкий) (February 2, 1842 - December 14, 1927) was a Russian mathematician.Sokhotsky was born in Warsaw, Poland, where he attended state gymnasium. In 1864 he graduated from the Physics and Mathematical Faculty at the University of St. Petersburg. In 1867 he received his Master's degree and in 1873 his doctorate. His Master's dissertation was practically the first text in Russian mathematical literature on Cauchy method of residue and published in 1868. The dissertation itself contains many original grasps, which have been also ascribed to other mathematicians.
Sokhotsky died in Leningrad, Soviet Union (now St. Petersburg, Russia).
His works include:
- Теория интегральных вычетов с некоторыми приложениями (Theory of integral calculuses with some applications) (1868),
- Об определенных интегралах и функциях, употребляемых при разложениях в ряды (About definite integrals and functions used in developments of series) (1873),
- О суммах Гаусса и о законе взаимности символа Лежандра (About Gauss sums and the reciprocity law of the Legendre symbol) (1877),
- Высшая алгебра (High algebra) (1882),
- Теория чисел (Number theory) (1888),
- Начало общего наибольшего делителя в применении к теории делимости алгебраических чисел (Principle of greatest common divisor in the usage to the divisibility theory of algebraic numbers) (1893).
