    “To be a good mathematician, you need inner voice” ”ОгонёкЪ” met with Yakov Sinai, one of the world’s most renowned mathematicians. As the new year begins, Russia intensifies the preparations for the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2022), the main mathematical event of the near future. 1966 was the last time we welcomed the crème de la crème of mathematics in Moscow. “Огонёк” met with Yakov Sinai, one of the world’s top mathematicians who spoke at ICM more than once, and found out what he thinks about order and chaos in the modern world.1 Committed to science. Yakov Sinai's close-up. One of the most eminent mathematicians of our time, Yakov Sinai has spent most of his life studying order and chaos, a research endeavor at the junction of probability theory, dynamical systems theory, and mathematical physics. Born into a family of Moscow scientists on September 21, 1935, Yakov Sinai graduated from the department of Mechanics and Mathematics (‘Mekhmat’) of Moscow State University in 1957. Andrey Kolmogorov’s most famous student, Sinai contributed to a wealth of mathematical discoveries that bear his and his teacher’s names, such as Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, Sinai’s billiards, Sinai’s random walk, and more. From 1998 to 2002, he chaired the Fields Committee which awards one of the world’s most prestigious medals every four years. Yakov Sinai is a winner of nearly all coveted mathematical distinctions: the Abel Prize (an equivalent of the Nobel Prize for mathematicians), the Kolmogorov Medal, the Moscow Mathematical Society Award, the Boltzmann Medal, the Dirac Medal, the Dannie Heineman Prize, the Wolf Prize, the Jürgen Moser Prize, the Henri Poincaré Prize, and more.
