Mirabbas Geogja Gasymov (11 July 1939 – 6 September 2008) was a notable mathematician of Soviet and Azerbaijan, doctor of physics-mathematics, professor and an active member of Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences.
In 1964, M. G. Gasymov defended master's thesis of "Definition of Sturm-Liouville differential equation with respect to two spectra" in Academic Council of the faculty of Mechanics-Mathematics of MSU. Work had been estimated as "spectacular work" according to special decision of Academic Council. At the same year, he went to work as an assistant at Moscow Physical Technical Institute and in 1965, he was assigned as a senior lecturer to the Department Mathematics of F. E. Dzerzhinskiy Military Engineering Academy with competition way.
In 1967, M. Gasymov defended thesis for Doctor's degree according physics-mathematics sciences in theme of "Some problems of theory of self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint differential operators in MSU and this dissertation was translated into English in the US. Famous mathematicians, A. Q. Kostyuchenko, V. A. Marchenko, M. A. Naymark had been official opponents. From the September of 1968, he had become professor position of ASU. From 1972 (until 2007) he had become the chief of chair of Applied Mathematics. In 1970–76, he became the head of Department Partial Differential Equations in the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan.
In 1980, M. Gasymov was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan, in 1989, he became an active member (academician) of AS of Azerbaijan.
In 1990–92, he became the Rector of BSU. In this period, attached to the university Applied Mathematic Scientific Experience Institute was created and as main purpose he aimed to bring together mathematicians and mechanics. In different years, he held the posts of the dean of Mechanics Math and Applied Mathematics and Cybernatics of BSU, and the first deputy Minister of education. In 1990–95, he became the deputy of the Supreme Soviet of Azerbaijan Republic.
M. Gasymov had become honorary doctor of Egey-Izmir and Selcuk-Konya University of Turkey.
Contribution to science M. Gasymov was considered the founder of modern math school of Azerbaijan. He had guided scientific works of several mathematicians, and he had paid attention to bring up high level scientific staffers. Mirabbas Gasymov's held seminars of " Functional analysis and its additions " and " The spectral theory of differential operators were regarded important event in lief of math of Baku every time. About 70 theses for Doctor's degree and master's were defended under the his supervisor. Gasymov was engaged in great scientific works in arrangement and development of the faculty of Applied Mathematics of Baku State University.
For his merits in the development of Azerbaijani science Gasymov was regarded with gold medal by M. V. Keldysh Federation of SSRI Astronomtics.
Gasymov had become the opponent of more than 60 theses for a Doctor's degree and master's in different cities of SSRI. He had became participant of three International Mathematic Congresses (Moscow-1966, France-1970, Canada-1974). In Varshava, he had performed with series of lectures in S. Banach International Math Center.
M. G. Gasymov had published about 100 scientific papers and the great part of these were printed in authoritative central journals of past SSRI ("ДАН СССР", "Успехи математических наук", "Математический сборник", "Известия АН СССР", "Труды Московского Математического общества", "Функциональный анализ и его приложения", "Математические заметки", "Дифференциальные уравнения", "Сибирский математический журнал", "ДАН АзССР", "Известия АН АзССР", conferences of All Union and works of schools, etc.). Gasymov's scientific results were made notes in Department of Mathematics of SSRI AS and account of academician secretary of SSRI AS between most important works in many times. His articles were considered one of the most base upon mathematical works. He had translated a number of valuable scientific works to Russian language, and he had become one of translator of famous books in three volumes of " Linear operators " of N. Danford and C. Shvars, also he had published several popular mathematical articles.
M. G. Gasymov died on September 6, 2008, in Baku and was buried in birthplace village of Narimankend according to his own testament.
