Yevgeny Michailowitsch Landis ( Russian Евгений Михайлович Ландис ; born October 6, 1921 in Kharkiv , Ukrainian SSR ; † December 12, 1997 in Moscow , Russia ) was a Soviet mathematician and computer scientist .
He studied at Moscow State University , where he was admitted in 1939, but shortly afterwards had to do six years of military service before he could continue his studies. In 1946 he discovered and Alexander Kronrod the set of Sard anew, which was unknown at that time because of the lack of scientific exchanges during the war in Russia. The sentence was for a time called Kronrod-Landis ' sentence in Russian texts . Besides Kronrod, Ivan Georgievich Petrowski was his teacher. From 1953 (the year of his doctorate at Kronrod) until his death he worked at Lomonossow University, where he was a professor.
He dealt in particular with partial differential equations , but also with computer science and algorithms. Together with Georgy Adelson-Velsky , Landis developed the data structure of the AVL tree in computer science in 1962 .
He was an amateur painter who also presented his pictures in an exhibition at his faculty. He also loved classical music.
