Life

His father Korneli Jakowlewitsch Mlodsejewski (1818–1865) was a medical professor and pathologist at Lomonosov University. Mlodsijewski studied mathematics from 1876 at Lomonossow University with the degree in 1880. From 1885 he was an assistant professor. He received his doctorate in 1886 and qualified as a professor in 1890. From 1890 he was studying abroad in Zurich, Göttingen and Paris and in 1892 he became an associate professor and in 1899 a full professor in Moscow. In 1911 he was dismissed like some other professors after student unrest and taught for a while at the People's University AL Schanyawski before he was reinstated at the university in 1917. There he was the first director of the Institute for Mathematics and Mechanics.

He also taught at a Moscow engineering school and other special schools and was a pioneer in setting up mathematics courses for women in Moscow, in which in 1906 he also tried out the form of the mathematics seminar widely used in Germany for the first time in Russia (they were then also introduced at the university) . He gave first lectures on the theory of real functions and set theory in Russia.

He dealt with geometry (algebraic geometry, differential geometry), mechanics, celestial mechanics and geometric optics.

He was president of the Moscow Mathematical Society from 1921 to 1923 .
