Career
Professor, Doctor of technical sciences, academician of "International Informatization Academy". With a team of mathematicians, he worked over the calculation of flight trajectory to Mars. He also participated in creating the main trajectory of launching the first space vehicles into orbit.
He held the positions of Director of Scientific Research Centre for Control Systems, director of Scientific Research Center for Economics and Complex Communication Problems.
Under his leadership, Industrial Control System (International Correspondence Schools ) was made, which is now responsible for everything from subway trains to military defense systems Foreign a number of years directed advisory council of Higher Attestation Commission, in the section of control systems and computer science.
He was a chief designer of control systems in the ministries of the military-industrial complex, a design project leader of special-purpose system “Almaz” of the Soviet gosplan (the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics State Planning Committee). Shikhaev’s main studies are dedicated to the theory of numbers.
He is the author of the new arithmetic of second order differences, where main theses of arithmetic in the theory of numbers obtain development and new solving methods, due to introduction into the “classical” basis of these subjects of the second order difference.
Shikhaev created the mathematical apparatus and research methods of number systems He solved one of arithmetical problems, namely, he obtained virtually unlimited connection between traditional arithmetic operations, which made it possible to obtain new efficient methods of problem research in the theory of numbers. The mathematical works known as “” was patented as a teaching method for solving algebraic equations by numerical simulation.
