Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevski

Lobachevski was born in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia in 1793 and lived from 1793 to 1856. After his father passed away when he was six, he moved with his mother and his two brothers to Kazan, Russia. In Kazan, Lobachevski attended Gymnasium. He was so intelligent and such a good student that he entered Kazan University without having to pay a dime. After achieving a Master’s Degree in physics and mathematics, he became a professor of mathematics, physics, and astronomy.

Lobachevski was a brilliant professor who became quite skilled at lecturing. His lectures were so well spoken that even the students that came to class unprepared were able to understand. In 1814, Lobachevski joined the Kazan University staff and later became a member of Kazan University construction committee in 1822. He then became the rector of Kazan University in 1827. In 1823, h

e was elected to membership in the editorial committee of “Kazan Bulletin” magazine and was awarded the Order of St. Vladimir of 4th Degree. As a rector, Lobachevski helped to restore Kazan University by constructing a building with a library, an astronomical observatory, new medical facilities, and physics, chemistry, and anatomy laboratories. He also encouraged scientific and artistic research to help modernize schools in Kazan. While Lobachevski was rector, two disasters occurred at Kazan.

In 1826, Lobachevski delivered a report, “Brief Rendering of Geometry Beginnings with Strict Demonstration of Theorem of Parallel Lines,” at a meeting of the physical-mathematical department. He then wrote Principles of Geometry in 1830, which included all of his work up to 1830. In 1835, he wrote Imaginary Geometry, which was based on disproving Euclid’s fifth postulate. Also in 1835, he wrote New Principles of Geometry, which was a combination of his two previous novels.

The other disaster was a huge fire.He personally directed the rescue of University buildings and property during the fire and also helped to rebuild a few university buildings. For his efforts in the cholera epidemic, he received a message of thanks from the Emperor.
