Biography
Born March 6, 1922 in Moscow .
In June 1940 he graduated from Moscow secondary school No. 118, in October he was drafted into the Red Army by the Soviet military registration and enlistment office of Moscow [1] . Initially served in the infantry, then, in June 1941, began training at the Military Aviation School [2] .
In August 1944 he was sent to the 1st Ukrainian Front , where he took part in hostilities as a fighter pilot. He participated in battles in Poland , Germany , Hungary , the assault on Berlin and the liberation of Prague [2] . During the years of World War II, he flew about 22 sorties on La-5 and La-7 planes, shot down a German plane - Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger , and also destroyed 2 cars, 3 carts and up to 20 enemy soldiers and officers [1] . He met the victory with the rank of guard of a junior sergeant as a pilot of the 41st Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment [1] .
In March 1946 he was discharged to the reserve. After demobilization, he returned to Moscow, until September 1946, he worked as a preparation at the Moscow Institute of Land Management Engineers [2] . In September 1946 he entered the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University . The teacher of Bolshev was one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences , Hero of Socialist Labor Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov [2] .
After graduating from university from 1951 to 1954 he studied at the graduate school of the Department of Mathematics of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of Moscow State University [2] . Since January 1951, he was also a researcher at the V. A. Steklov Mathematical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences [2] .
In parallel with classes in graduate school, in 1952 Bolshev began his pedagogical activity: he taught the course "Probability Theory", conducted seminars, led a mathematical workshop and a special seminar at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University [2] . In 1955, under the leadership of Kolmogorov, he successfully defended his Ph.D.
In 1955 he began working at Moscow State University, at the Department of Probability Theory of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty. Since 1955 - assistant, since 1958 - assistant professor of the department of probability theory. In 1960, he transferred to his main job at the V. A. Steklov Institute of Mathematics, where he worked until his death as a senior researcher in the department of mathematical statistics (from 1960 to 1966) and as head of the department of mathematical statistics (from 1966 to 1978 ) [2] .
In 1966 he defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic "Transformations of Random Variables" and became a doctor of physical and mathematical sciences [2] .
From 1967 to 1969 he was an assistant professor at the Department of Probability Theory of Moscow State University. In 1969 he became a professor in the same department. From 1970 to 1978 he also worked as a professor at the Department of Mathematical Statistics, Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, Moscow State University [2] .
On November 26, 1974 he was elected a corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Department of Mathematics, specialty “Mathematics”) [2] .
He was a member of the International Statistical Institute (since 1970), the editorial board of the journal "Probability Theory and its Applications" (since 1967 ) [2] .
He died of cancer on August 29, 1978 . He was buried at the Novokuntsevsky cemetery [3] .
Scientific activity
The area of Bolshev's scientific interests is probability theory , mathematical statistics and their applications [2] .
Bolshev's scientific works are devoted to limit theorems and asymptotic expansions of probability distributions widely used in mathematical statistics, as well as to other related theoretical and applied problems. He managed to construct a theory of asymptotic expansions for the main probability distributions, which is widely used in applied and theoretical studies [2] .
He continued the work begun by mathematicians E. E. Slutsky and N. V. Smirnov on the compilation of tables of mathematical statistics necessary for probabilistic statistical calculations and the publication of the country's first series of such tables. He participated in the compilation and preparation for the publication in 1962 of the Steklov Mathematical Institute of Dictionaries - “Russian-English Dictionary of Mathematical Terms” and “English-Russian Dictionary of Mathematical Terms”, was a member of the editorial board.
During the scientific activity Bolshev prepared 10 candidates of sciences and 3 doctors of sciences [2] .
Family
Grandfather Bolsheva, Loggin Aleksandrovich (1836-1880) - colonel, military topographer , researcher of Eastern Siberia , head of the military topographic department of the East Siberian Military District, was married to Ekaterina Konstantinovna Klodt [2] .
Father, Nikolay Loginovich Bolshev, a career officer in the Russian Imperial Army , participant in the Russo-Japanese and World War I, from 1917, serving in the Red Army , retired in 1923, and died two years later. Mother, Bolsheva Elizaveta Germanovna, was an employee before and after the October Revolution , worked as a senior laboratory assistant at the Moscow Institute of Land Management Engineers, and died in 1950 [2] .
Bolshev's wife, Klavdia Petrovna (1929-2006), worked as a teacher of mathematics at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute . Their daughter, Nadezhda (born in 1956) is a biologist [2] .
