It was issued to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the scholarly activity of Otto Yulievich Schmidt (1891–1956) — algebraist, astronomer, geophysicist, founder of the Moscow algebraic school, organizer of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, leader of the legendary 1937 polar expedition, and Hero of the Soviet Union. The volume gathers reports from the participants of Schmidt's group-theory seminar, which had grown out of his 1916 monograph \"Abstract Theory of Groups\" (the first systematic Russian-language treatise on the subject) and which since 1930 had functioned as the central crucible of Soviet algebra at Moscow University and the Steklov Institute. Each report was written by the contributor himself, summarizing his research on infinite groups, lattice theory, finite groups, varieties, and related areas of algebra and topology — including early work by A. G. Kurosh, A. I. Mal'tsev, S. A. Chunikhin, P. G. Kontorovich and other figures who would dominate Soviet algebra for the next half-century. Issued by GONTI in a print run of only 2,500 copies and rarely surviving in collectible state, the book is a key piece of source material for the history of twentieth-century mathematics and is genuinely scarce on the international market.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44291695018026,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_1666.jpg?v=1777285373","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/proceedings-of-the-seminar-on-group-theory-on-the-twenty-fifth-anniversary-of-the-scientific-activity-of-hero-of-the-soviet-union-academician-o-yu-schmidt-trudy-seminara-po-teorii-grupp-1938-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
