Arkhangelsky, Nikolai Mikheevich

Rod in 1787, the mind. in 1857 in Kharkov . Came from the spiritual Kursk diocese. He received his primary education at the Kursk Seminary, where he was given 10 years of age and, having completed a full course of science, entered as an official student at the Imperial Kharkov University , together with his opening, and in 1808 graduated from there with a candidate's degree.

At the end of the course, Arkhangelsk was left at the university to teach students algebra and geometry; At the same time, he was a sub-inspector and for some time took up the place of a teacher of philosophy and fine sciences in the Kharkov gymnasium. In the academic year 1809-1810, Arkhangelsky was on a business trip to teach mathematics and physics at the Chernigov gymnasium, and in the same year, 1810, returning to Kharkov, again read mathematics to first-year students of the university. From July 31st of that year, they assigned him another reading of physics for civil servants who wanted to take the science exam for the rank of VIII class.

The last assignment was only temporary, and having freed himself from it, Arkhangelsky, in 1811, defended his thesis for a master's degree: “On the uniform flow of water in rivers and open canals”. According to a degree, Arkhangelsky was sent to St. Petersburg to improve his knowledge of mathematics at the Imperial Academy of Sciences under the guidance of its members. While in St. Petersburg (from January 14, 1812 to December 10, 1813), Arkhangelsk was engaged in translating mathematical works from French, commissioned to him by academy professors, and translated at that time: “Static” by Poisson , Op. Bossu and Violeta - “Research on the best dam construction”, published by the main board of schools, St. Petersburg. 1815, and Op. Proni - “Physico-mathematical studies of the flow of water”.

At the same time, he translated several mathematical dissertations of Euler from the Latin language, published in the book “A speculative study of academic sciences”. Upon returning to Kharkov by the beginning of 1814, Arkhangelsky was identified as an associate professor in the department of mathematics and enrolled in full members of the “Society of Sciences” established at Kharkov University, and then, he was elected head of the examiner of graduate students of the Kharkov gymnasium. Appointed as an adjunct, Arkhangelsky translated from French, which he had begun in St. Petersburg, Francker's textbook "Foundations of Mechanics" in 2 parts, with the additions of a translator, which was printed in Kharkov in 1815. From January 1, 1816 to 13- On August 11, 1821, he held the post of secretary of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, on September 21, 1818, was approved as an extraordinary, and on February 7, 1826, an ordinary professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics. Arkhangelsky occupied this department until 1837, when, due to the transformation of the university, according to the new charter, he was dismissed with a full pension and the right to keep it in any kind of service, like honored professors.

When he was a professor, he was twice elected dean of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, was a member of the committee for testing home teachers and teachers, and a member of the school committee. Several times he was instructed to audit the gymnasium, and sometimes, after the riots that arose in them, and manage them for a while. Moreover, for three years he taught natural history and physics at the Kharkov Institute of Noble Maidens. Since 1837, Arkhangelsky spent all the time in Kharkov and died 70 years of age. The scientific and literary works of Arkhangelsky, both original and translated, are listed by Professor Kossov in the Report on the Status and Activities of the Imperial Kharkov University for 1857-1858 academic.
