Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevskii 's father Ivan Maksimovich Lobachevskii, worked as a clerk in an office which was involved in land surveying while Nikolai Ivanovich's mother was Praskovia Alexandrovna Lobachevskaya. Nikolai Ivanovich was one of three sons in this poor family. When Nikolai Ivanovich was seven years of age his father died and, in 1800, his mother moved with her three sons to the city of Kazan in western Russia on the edge of Siberia. There the boys attended Kazan Gymnasium , financed by government scholarships, with Nikolai Ivanovich entering the school in 1802. In 1807 Lobachevskii graduated from the Gymnasium and entered Kazan University as a free student. Kazan State University had been founded in 1804, the result of one of the many reforms of the emperor Alexander I, and it opened in the following year, only two years before Lobachevskii began his undergraduate career. His original intention was to study medicine but he changed to study a broad scientific course involving mathematics and physics. Vinberg writes [44]:- In the first years the atmosphere in the Department was quite favourable. The students were full of enthusiasm. They studied day and night to compensate for lack of knowledge.

Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky
Nikolai Lobachevsky's father died when he was 7 years old. He attended Kazan Gymnasium, financed by government scholarships, from 1802 to 1807. Then he entered Kazan University. His original intention was to study medicine but he changed to study a broad scientific course involving mathematics and physics. Lobachevsky received a Master's Degree in physics and mathematics in 1811. In 1814 he was appointed to a lectureship, in 1816 he became an extraordinary professor, and in 1822 he was appointed as a full professor. He taught a wide range of topics including mathematics, physics and astronomy. His lectures were detailed and clear, so that they could be understood even by poorly prepared students. He was soon appointed to important positions within the university, such as the dean of the Mathematics and Physics Department between 1820 and 1825, and head librarian from 1825 to 1835. He also served as Head of the Observatory and was clearly strongly influencing policy within the University. In 1827, he became rector of Kazan University, a post he was to hold for the next 19 years. Despite this heavy administrative load, Lobachevsky continued to teach a variety of different topics such as mechanics, hydrodynamics, integration, differential equations, the calculus of variations, and mathematical physics. He even found time to give lectures on physics to the general public during the years 1838 to 1840, but the heavy work-load was to eventually take its toll on his health.

1829 in science
Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition The year 1829 CE in science For the journal named Science , visit Science (journal). Science (from scientia, Latin for "knowledge") refers to the systematic acquisition of new knowledge about nature and the body of already existing knowledge so gained. The scientific method is based on careful observation and the testing of theories by experiment. Science does not claim to make any statements about how nature actually "is", for the scientist should know that we can only make conclusions about our observations of nature. The development of Quantum Mechanics in the early 20th century showed us that our observations equate to interactions, and the incredible implications of wave-particle duality made "objectivity" in science practically impossible.

One is the development and application of tools, machines, materials and processes that help to solve human problems. As a human activity, technology predates both science and engineering. The term technology thus often characterises inventions and gadgets using recently-discovered scientific principles and processes. However, even very old inventions such as the wheel exemplify technology.

Nikolai Lobachevsky
Nikolay Ivanovich Lobachevsky was the first mathematician to publish an account of non-Euclidean geometry. Born on December 1, 1792 in Novgorod, Russia . When he was only 7, Lobachevsky's father died. As such, he moved to Kazan, Siberia where he eventually studied at the University of Kazan. There, he studied physics and mathematics under Johann Bartels who had also instructed Karl Gauss. By 1811, he had a master's in mathematics and physics and by 1814 he was appointed a lectureship. By 1816, Lobachevsky became a professor. In 1829, he published his Non-Euclidean Geometry which was the first account on the matter to be published in the world. Basically, Lobachevsky stopped the common practice of turning Euclid's Fifth Postulate into a theorem. Rather, he studied a geometry apart from Euclid's final postulate. In other terms, he considered Euclid's postulate as a special case of a more simplified, general geometry. Lobachevsky came up with his own parallel postulate and his diagram:
There exist two lines parallel to a given line through a given point not on the line.

    Lavrentev is remembered for an outstanding book on conformal mappings and he made many important contributions to that topic. In the 1940s he developed the theory of quasi-conformal mappings which gave a new geometrical approach to partial differential equations. One of the major areas to which he applied this work was to hydrodynamics. The 1940s was a period of industrialization and construction and, after 1945, Lavrentev founded new areas of research in mechanics and applied physics which were aimed at laying the theoretical foundation necessary for the large construction projects of building dams, canals and bridges on the Volga, Dnieper and Don rivers.He also applied the theory of complex variables to other topics, in particular to non-linear waves. Other topics where he made substantial contributions where the theory of sets, the general theory of functions, and the theory of differential equations.
