Isaak Moissejewitsch Jaglom ( Russian Исаак Моисеевич Яглом , English Isaac Yaglom; born March 6, 1921 in Kharkiv , † May 17, 1988 in Moscow ) was a Russian mathematician.

Jaglom studied from 1938 at Lomonossow University , where he received his doctorate in 1945 with Boris Delone and Weniamin Kagan with a thesis on geometry. In the Second World War he was deferred because of myopia and moved to live with his family in Sverdlovsk , where he studied and graduated in 1942 (after which he studied at the Lomonosov University, which was evacuated there). In 1946 he was a lecturer at the Moscow Energy Institute and then until 1949 at the Lomonosov University and from 1949 to 1956 at the Pedagogical Institute Orechowo-Sujewo . From 1956 he was at the Lenin State Pedagogical Institute. During this time he completed his habilitation in 1965 (Russian doctorate). From 1968 he was a professor at the evening school of the Moscow Metallurgical Institute. 1974 to 1983 he was a professor at the Yaroslavl State University . From 1984 to 1988 he was a consultant at the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences.

Jaglom studied algebra and geometry and is the author of a number of popular science books on mathematics. In total he wrote over 40 books.

He is the twin brother of mathematician and physicist Akiva Jaglom .
