from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vsevolod Alexandrovich Jegorow ( Russian Всеволод Александрович Егоров ; * December 12, 1930 in Moscow , † September 7, 2001 in Sochi ) was a Russian physicist , mathematician and university professor .

Life

Egorov graduated from the Mechanical and Physical Faculty of Moscow University (MGU). Together with Timur Magometowitsch Enejew he organized a working group for cosmonautics , which in 1953 became a faculty seminar . In 1953 he completed his studies, whereupon Arkadi Alexandrowitsch Kosmodemjanski recommended him for the aspirantur .

As a student, Yegorov worked at the Moscow Steklov Institute for Mathematics (MIAN) of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)) in the department of mechanics under Leonid Weniaminowitsch Keldysch . In 1953, the department headed by Keldysch became the department for applied mathematics of the MIAN, in which Yegorov now worked. Under Dmitri Evgenjewitsch Ochozimski's direction, Jegorow calculated trajectories for space flights from the earth to the moon for the first time . In 1957, after defending his candidate dissertation, Jegorow received his doctorate as a candidate for physical-mathematical sciences . In April 1964 Yegorov took the IPM in the selection process for a candidate Voskhod part -Raumflüge. He passed the medical exam in the Central Aviation Research Hospital , but was then not admitted to special training. He did not pass the new medical examination in 1966 as one of the candidates for the AN-SSSR. In 1966, Keldysch's MIAN department became the new Moscow Institute for Applied Mathematics (IPM) of the AN-SSSR. In 1967, after defending his doctoral thesis, Jegorov received his doctorate in physical-mathematical sciences .

In the early 1970s, Jegorow and some colleagues at the IPM repeated the computer simulations by Jay Wright Forresters and the Meadows group, which predicted an ecological catastrophe at the beginning of the 21st century. The IPM group improved the computer models and identified the anarchy of capitalist production as the reason for the inevitable catastrophe . In 1976 Keldysch let her stop this work because of its insignificance for the socialist economy .

From 1973 Jegorow taught as a professor at the chair for theoretical mechanics of the mechanical-physical faculty of the MGU.

From the end of the 1970s, Yegorow, on the initiative of Keldysch, spent 20 years dealing with problems in medical diagnostics and the computerization of medicine. In 1984 he founded the laboratory for bioinformatics at the Scientific Council of the AN-SSSR for complex problems in cybernetics and headed a department on a voluntary basis . Egorov was the author or co-author of many publications.

Egorov had his own apartment in Sochi. On September 7, 2001, he was missing there.
