A. I. Vinogradov

Askold Ivanovich Vinogradov was a Russian mathematician who worked in analytic number theory, the branch of mathematics that studies the integers with the tools of analysis. He lived from 1929 until 31 December 2005. His name is attached to one of the best known results of that field, the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem, which is partially named after him and which the atlas describes on its own page. The English Wikipedia article about him is brief and points to a list of his publications rather than narrating his career, so this entry records only what that article supports: his nationality, his dates, his field and the theorem that carries his name. He should not be confused with Ivan Matveyevich Vinogradov, another number theorist who has a separate entry in this atlas.
