Valery Vasilievich Kozlov , Russian Валерий Васильевич Козлов , English transcription Valery Vasilevich Kozlov, (* 1. January 1950 in the Ryazan Oblast ) is a Russian mathematician and mechanics expert.

Koslow studied from 1967 at Lomonossow University with a degree in 1972 and a doctorate in 1974 with Andrei Kolmogorow (dissertation: Qualitative analysis of the movement of a rigid body in integrable cases). Then he was a lecturer and assistant at Lomonosov University, completed his habilitation in 1978 (Russian doctorate) with the habilitation thesis on the problems of qualitative analysis of the dynamics of rigid bodies and in 1983 became professor of theoretical mechanics. In 2002 he became head of the Department of Mathematical Statistics and Random Processes at Lomonosov University. In 2003 he became head of the mechanics department at the Steklow Institute and in 2004 its deputy director.

From 1980 to 1987 he was Deputy Dean of Science and Research of the Mekhmat (Mathematics and Mechanics) Faculty of Lomonosov University and from 1997 to 2001 he was Deputy Minister of Education of the Russian Federation.

Koslow deals with theoretical and statistical mechanics and related mathematical areas such as qualitative theory of differential equations and topological considerations on the question of the integrability of dynamic systems. In 1979 he proved that for areas M with gender greater than 1 (i.e. topologically no spheres or tori) the geodetic flow (and general solutions of Hamilton's equations on the associated tangential bundle of M) has no real-analytic first integrals other than energy.

He is a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (corresponding since 1997, full member since 2000), its vice-president since 2001 and its president for a few months in 2017.

He is also a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and the European Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Koslow was the founder and editor-in-chief of Regular and Chaotic Dynamics magazine .

In 2007 he received the Leonhard Euler Gold Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences and in 2018 its Demidow Prize , in 2009 the Gilli Agostinelli Prize of the Turin Academy of Sciences, in 2000 the Sophie Kovalevskaya Prize of the Russian Academy of Sciences and in 1988 its SA Chaplygin Prize and 1994 the State Prize of the Russian Federation.
