| Resumen |
I have received my engineering diploma in Systems of Automated Control from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT, sometimes referred to as “the Russian MIT”) in 1975. This institute prepared specialists for high-tech governmental research institutes mainly located around the Moscow city. But I preferred to be free from duties of researcher working on prescribed tasks and returned to my city Kazan where I held assistant professor position in Department of Applied Mathematics of Kazan Institute of Chemical Technology (now it is Kazan National Research Technological University). I looked for some interesting areas of research and thanks to the department head Prof. Vladimir Skvortsov that drew my attention on the paper of Zadeh [39]. This paper was translated in Russian and published in 1974 in periodical collection of papers “Mathematics Today” in series “Mathematics and Cybernetics. News in Life, Science, and Engineering”. |
