Talk:Mikhail Kadets

DYK suggestion
... that the mathematician Mikhail Kadets became interested in the theory of Banach spaces after reading the Ukrainian translation of a book by Stefan Banach?


 * That is an excellent suggestion and very important. I would love for somebody to translate the Ukrainian parts of Banach's treatise into English. Diestel's Sequels and Series notes that Gurariy^2's beautiful and spectacular Bessellian (?) renorming of uniformly convex Banach spaces uses a result by Banach. I think that Gurariy^2 cite the Ukrainian version.

"Jewish"
Maybe a footnote should be added about the USSR system of nationalities/ethnicities, etc. Kiefer .Wolfowitz 01:12, 17 December 2011 (UTC)


 * This was not supposed to be a political statement. To me, "Soviet" means pro-Soviet, whereas Soviet-born is more neutral. "Jewish" is part of his biography (mentioned in the references as a reason why he did not get a job at the university), so I thought it should be mentioned without emphasis. Still, this sentence sounds somewhat clumsy, help from a native speaker would be appreciated. Sasha (talk) 01:28, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Project Russia?
Has this article been added to the WikiProject Russia because Russian is widely spoken in Kharkiv, Ukraine (or Kadets wrote in Russian, apparently)? Kiefer .Wolfowitz 21:06, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
