Akiva Yaglom
Akiva Moiseevich Yaglom ((ロシア語:Аки́ва Моисе́евич Ягло́м); 6 March 1921 – 13 December 2007) was a Soviet and Jewish physicist, mathematician, statistician, and meteorologist. He was known for his contributions to the statistical theory of turbulence and theory of random processes. Yaglom spent most of his career in Russia working in various institutions, including Institute of Theoretical Geophysics. From 1992 to till his death, Yaglom worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He authored several popular books in mathematics and probability, some of them with his twin brother and mathematician Isaak Yaglom.
==Education and career==
Akiva Yaglom was born on 6 March 1921 in Kharkov, Ukraine to the family of an engineer. He had a twin brother Isaak. The family moved to Moscow when Yaglom brothers were five years old. During their school years they were keen on mathematics. In 1938 they shared the first prize at the Moscow mathematical competition for schoolchildren.〔 Yaglom joined Moscow State University in 1938, where he studied physics and mathematics. He completed his fourth year of diploma in the Sverdlovsk University and received the masters in science degree in 1942. After a short period of work in the Main Geophysical Observatory, Yaglom joined Steklov Institute of Mathematics of the USSR Academy of Sciences and completed his postgraduate studies in 1946 under the mentorship of A. N. Kolmogorov. His dissertation was "On the Statistical Reversibility of Brownian Motion".
After he received his Ph.D, Yaglom was offered a job at the Physical Institute by the future Nobel laureates Igor Tamm and Vitaly Ginzburg, but he declined the offer because he knew that the job would have required him to deal with applied problems related to the development of nuclear weapons. He joined in the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences and worked at the Laboratory of Atmospheric Turbulence and worked there for more than 45 years. In 1955, he defended his second doctoral thesis "The Theory of Correlation between Continuous Processes and Fields with Applications to the Problems of Statistical Exploration of Time Series and to Turbulence Theory".〔
Yaglom was also a full professor in the Faculty of Probability Theory at the Mathematics and Mechanics Department of Moscow University. In 1992, Yaglom went to the United States and joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He died in Boston, Massachusetts on 13 December 2007.〔
