🎓 Follow in Sofia Kovalevskaya’s Footsteps at MEPhI! 🚀

Today, January 15, marks the 175th anniversary of Sofia Kovalevskaya, a brilliant mathematician who broke barriers in science and education. She was the first woman in Russia to earn a doctorate in mathematics and the first female professor in Northern Europe. Her research in partial differential equations, mechanics, and mathematical physics laid the foundation for many modern scientific discoveries.

💡 What did Kovalevskaya achieve?
🔹 She solved the Kovalevskaya top problem, a fundamental challenge in mechanics that remains relevant in physics and engineering today.
🔹 Her work on differential equations is crucial in describing natural processes, from heat conduction to quantum mechanics.
🔹 She pioneered research in celestial mechanics, helping scientists understand planetary motion.

At MEPhI, you can explore the same advanced fields that Kovalevskaya revolutionized:

✅ Mathematical modeling—used in nuclear physics, AI, and cybersecurity
✅ Theoretical mechanics—applied in space exploration and robotics
✅ Differential equations—essential for engineering, IT, and quantum technologies

If you dream of solving complex problems, driving innovation, and shaping the future of science, MEPhI is the perfect place for you!
