Ludmila Bourchtein

Ludmila Bourchtein (also transliterated as Lioudmila Bourchtein) is a Soviet and Brazilian mathematician and textbook author, a professor emerita at the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil.[1] Her research concerns mathematical analysis and conformal mapping.[2]

Education and career

Bourchtein received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok in 1960,[3] and continued to work at Far Eastern Federal University for 34 years as an assistant, associate, and full professor.[1] Meanwhile, she earned a doctorate through Saint Petersburg State University in 1968,[3] with a dissertation on the solution of functional equations for complex analytic functions on the unit circle.[2]

She joined the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil in 1997,[4] as an associate professor and later as a full professor,[1] retired in 2010[4] and was named a professor emerita in 2019.[1] At the Federal University of Pelotas, one of her students was Adriana Neumann de Oliveira, who credits Bourchtein as being her first female role model in mathematics.[5]
