Where did St. Petersburg mathematicians gather before?

Petersburg for a long time was the capital of Russian mathematics. Here, from the 18th century, a famous mathematical school has been formed, the heyday of which came at the turn of the XIX - XX centuries. Now famous scientists are working in St. Petersburg, scientific discoveries are taking place and new research centers are appearing. In 2022, the city will host the International Congress of Mathematics.

“Paper” and “ native cities ” prepared a test about city places and events related to mathematics. Go through it and find out who began to develop this science in St. Petersburg, where the country's best young mathematicians study and in which university they are already taught to manage drones today.

“ Native Cities ” - Gazprom Neft Social Investment Program, which has existed since 2012. Its goal is to improve the quality of life in the regions where the company works. The topic of supporting talents in the regions was discussed at the forum of the same name. One of the key thematic sessions was “Education and Science”.

Every year, “ Native Cities ” hold an intellectual tournament for mathematically gifted schoolchildren “Multiplying Talents”, and together with St. Petersburg State University, a program for supporting talented students and young scientists “Mathematical Progress” is being implemented. In 2022, in St. Petersburg, with the support of Gazprom Neft, the International Mathematical Congress will be held.
