He was best known for his books on topology, combinatorial geometry and Hilbert's third problem.
Biography
Boltyansky was born in Moscow.[2] He served in the Soviet army during World War II, when he was a signaller on the 2nd Belorussian Front.[3] He graduated from Moscow University in 1948, where his advisor was Lev Pontryagin. He defended his "Doktor nauk in physics and mathematics" (higher doctorate) degree in 1955, became a professor in 1959.
Boltyansky was awarded the Lenin Prize (for the work led by Pontryagin, Revaz Gamkrelidze, and Template:Interlanguage link multi) for applications of differential equations to optimal control, where he was one of the discoverers of the Pontryagin's maximum principle.[4] In 1967 he received Uzbek SSR prize for the work on ordered rings. He taught at CIMAT.[5]
He was the corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Education. He was the author of over 200 books and mathematical articles.
