Moscow State University.
In 1997 he was awarded the Ostrowski Prize for his proof that the numbers π and eπ are algebraically independent. In fact, he proved the stronger result:
the numbers π, eπ, and Γ(1/4) are algebraically independent over Q.
the numbers π,, and Γ(1/3) are algebraically independent over Q.
for all positive integers n, the numbers π, are algebraically independent over Q.
He is a professor at Moscow State University, where he completed the mechanical-mathematical program in 1969, then the doctorate program (Soviet habilitation) in 1973, became a professor of the Number Theory Department in 1992. He studied under Andrei Borisovich Shidlovskii.
