Sergey Chaplygin

Sergey Alexeyevich Chaplygin ( _ru. Сергей Алексеевич Чаплыгин; April 5, 1869–October 8, 1942) was a Russian physicist, mathematician, and mechanical engineer. He is known for mathematical formulas such as Chaplygin's equation. He graduated in 1890 from Moscow University, and later became a professor. He taught mechanical engineering at Moscow's Woman College in 1901, and of applied mathematics at Moscow School of Technology, 1903. Leonid I. Sedov was one of his students.

Chaplygin's theories were greatly inspired by N. Ye. Zhukovsky, who founded the Central Institute of aerodynamics. His early research consisted of hydromechanics. His "Collected Works" in four volumes were published in 1948.

Chaplygin was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1924. The lunar crater Chaplygin and town Chaplygin is named in his honor.
