Godwin Davy
Godwin Davy( born 15 December 1979) is an Anguillan international footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.
He made his international debut in a World Cup qualifying match against El Salvador, resulting in a lopsided match, losing 12- 0 in February 2008, and also played in the 4 – 0 loss to the same country in the return match in March 2008.
James Lovell (sculptor)
James Lovell( died 1778) was an English sculptor and interior decorator.
From an obscure background, he has been taken to be a pupil of Peter Scheemakers and Laurent Delvaux.
Markov brothers' inequality
In mathematics, the Markov brothers' inequality is an inequality proved in the 1890s by brothers Andrey Markov and Vladimir Markov, two Russian mathematicians.
This inequality bounds the maximum of the derivatives of a polynomial on an interval in terms of the maximum of the polynomial.
For" k"= 1 it was proved by Andrey Markov, and for" k"= 2,3... by his brother Vladimir Markov.
Pavel Nekrasov
Pavel Alekseevich Nekrasov( 1853–1924) was a Russian mathematician and a Rector of the Imperial University of Moscow.
Nekrasov studied at the Orthodox theological seminary and from 1874 at the University of Moscow.
There he was a pupil of the mathematician Nikolai Vasilievich Bugaev.
Several years after his graduation, he became a Privatdozent there in 1885( having received his Russian PhD in the same year, corresponding to a habilitation in the West) and, in 1885 or 1886, an associate professor at Moscow University( where he had been since 1883).
In 1890 he received a full professorship.
In 1893 he became rector.
After his term as rector, he actually wanted to retire, but was not allowed to.
He also taught 1885– 1891 Probability Theory and Higher Mathematics at the Moscow Institute of Land Surveying.
From 1898 he was almost only with administrative duties for the Ministry of Education( he was curator of the University and responsible for the schools in Moscow and the surrounding area) and moved in 1905 to Saint Petersburg as a member of the Council of the Ministry of Education.
After the Russian Revolution, he tried to adapt to the new rulers, dealt with mathematical economics( which he held lectures in 1918 – 19) and studied Marxism.
He died of pneumonia in 1924.
However, his rapprochement with Marxism earned him no recognition.
On the contrary, with some of his writings, after his death he was a major target of attacks against religiously influenced mathematicians, culminating in the arrest of Dmitri Egorov and the Luzin Affair.
In 1891 he was vice- president of the Moscow Mathematical Society and was its president from 1903 to 1905.
From 1891 to 1894 he was vice- president of the Society of Friends of Science in Moscow.
He dealt with algebra, analysis, mechanics and probability theory.
In the latter area he made substantial contributions, which were criticized in his time by Andrey Markov and Aleksandr Lyapunov, because he could not present them in a satisfactory form, and even later he was forgotten.
Markov and Lyapunov are today usually called as representatives of the St. Petersburg School( founded by Pafnuty Chebyshev) when it comes to the question of the first mathematically strict treatment of the Central Limit Theorem, the discussion and debate with Nekrasov played a significant role( especially one essay from 1898).
Andrei Markov
Andrei or Andrey Markov may refer to:
Andrey Markov
Andrey Andreyevich Markov( 1856–1922) was a Russian mathematician best known for his work on stochastic processes.
A primary subject of his research later became known as Markov chains and Markov processes.
Markov and his younger brother Vladimir Andreevich Markov( 1871– 1897) proved the Markov brothers' inequality.
His son, another Andrei Andreyevich Markov( 1903 – 1979), was also a notable mathematician, making contributions to constructive mathematics and recursive function theory.
Laurent Gagnier
Laurent Gagnier( born 12 January 1979) is a former French football midfielder.
Gagnier's previous clubs include OGC Nice, Niort, CS Sedan and Amiens SC.
Willem Brakman
Willem Pieter Jacobus Brakman( 1922 – 2008) was a Dutch writer who made his literary debut with the novel" Een winterreis" in 1961.
Brakman received the P. C. Hooft Award in 1980.
He was born on June 13th, 1922 in The Hague, Netherlands, and died on May 8th, 2008 in the same country.
Vladimir Markov (mathematician)
Vladimir Andreevich Markov( May 8, 1871 – January 18, 1897) was a Russian mathematician, known for proving the Markov brothers' inequality with his older brother Andrey Markov.
He died of tuberculosis at the age of 25.
