Gury Marchuk

Guri Ivanovich Marchuk (Russian Гурий Иванович Марчук, Guri Ivanovich Marchuk English transcription; born June 8, 1925 in Petro- Chersonez today to Orenburg Oblast, † March 24, 2013 in Moscow) was a Russian mathematician, known for applied work in meteorology.

Career

Marchuk habilitated in 1957 ( Russian doctorate degrees) and was only a year later in 1958 a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. He was long at the Siberian Branch of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk and taught at the University of Novosibirsk.

In 1980 he organized the Department of Numerical Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and was its director 1980 to 2000. Went from her later, the Institute for Numerical Mathematics ( INM RAS) produced the Academy, whose honor he was the director.

Marchuk dealt with both the mathematical modeling of climate and weather patterns as well as their numerical treatment. He developed the "splitting " method for the solution of applied meteorology hydrodynamic differential equations. Another breakthrough came with the development of the method of adjoint equations in inverse problems of modeling of meteorological problems. The method is to process the data initialization and error analysis in weather forecasts of importance and also serves, for example, to locate polluters retroactively. Marchuk also deals with questions of mathematical modeling of the immune system and its response to pathogens ( a Russian book to him appeared in 1980 ) and with numerical modeling in nuclear explosions and nuclear reactors ( a Russian book to him appeared in 1961 ).

He was President ( formerly Vice- President ) of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and was also from 1986 to 1991 president of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was a foreign member of the French (1989 ), Polish, Czechoslovakian, Bulgarian, Indian and Finnish Academy of Sciences. He was more honorary doctorates (including Dresden, Toulouse). He received the Gold Medal of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, the German Karpinsky Medal. He was a knight of the French Legion of Honour. In 2008 he received the Wilhelm Bjerknes Medal. In 1970 he gave a plenary lecture at the ICM in Nice (Methods and problems of computational mathematics ) and in 1966 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Moscow ( Numerical methods in transfer theory).
