Anton Kazimirovich Sushkevich

January 10, 1889 (age 72)

Borisoglebsk, Voronezh, Russian Federation

Moving to Kharkiv, Anton Kazimirovich taught in secondary education while he pursued a graduate degree at Kharkov State University. His dissertation was The theory of operations as the general theory of groups. Obtaining the degree, Anton Kazimirovich became an assistant professor at the university in 1918 and an adjunct professor in 1920. Voronezh State University employed Anton Kazimirovich in 1921 as a professor of mathematics. He published the first edition of his Higher Algebra (1923). Anton Kazimirovich published a generalization of Cayley's theorem for certain finite semigroups in 1926. The next year he was in Moscow for the Russian Mathematical Congress, and the following year in Bologna for the International Congress of Mathematicians. In Kharkiv, the Ukrainian Scientific Research Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics was established in 1929 with Anton Kazimirovich as a member. With a rising interest in abstract algebra, he wrote a second book on algebra: Foundations of Higher Algebra which was published both in Russian and Ukrainian. In 1933 he directed the Algebra & Number Theory section of Kharkov State University's department of mathematics. At that time Stalin caused a famine in Ukraine, the Holodomor, killing millions especially in rural areas. Anton Kazimirovich survived to edit new editions of his textbook that included "new algebra": fields, integral domains, rings, ideals, and quaternions. His original work, The Theory of Generalized Groups (1937) opened up the area of semigroups.
