List of Russian mathematicians

• Alexander Alexandrovich Friedmann (also spelled Friedman or Fridman); He was a Russian and Soviet physicist and mathematician. He originated the pioneering theory that the universe is expanding, governed by a set of equations he developed known as the Friedmann equations.
