Ilya Nikolaevich Bronschtein

Ilja Nikolajewitsch Bronschtein , in German mostly quoted Bronstein, Russian Илья Николаевич Бронштейн , English transcription Ilya Nikolaevich Bronshtein, (* 1903 ; † 1976 ) was a Soviet applied mathematician .

He taught at the Moscow State Technical University MAMI (then State University of Mechanical Engineering) on ​​the Chair of Higher Mathematics established in 1939.

He is known as the author of the paperback of mathematics (briefly called Bronstein in Germany ) with Konstantin Adolfowitsch Semendjajew (1908–1988), which is widespread in Germany and Russia . The first version was written in 1939/40, but the printing plates were temporarily lost during the siege of Leningrad and the book was published in 1945, after these were found again, a first German translation of the 6th edition in 1958 by Teubner. While the book was still being edited in Germany to this day, its publication in Russia temporarily ended in 1967 with the 11th edition by Nauka, as a translation of an American textbook was published instead and the content of the Bronstein no longer met the requirements.

With the thoroughly revised new German edition in 1979, a new edition also appeared in Russian, in which Semendjajew also contributed. In 1986 the 13th Russian edition was published.
