Abstract

From the start, the Central House of Scientists that was opened in the early years of the Soviet regime as a result of the efforts the Commission for Improving the Scholars’ Living Conditions (KUBU) has been uniting Soviet (Russian) researchers of various specialties and offering them opportunities for socialization and professional communication. Inter alia, it became a place to celebrate significant scientific events or decently commemorate prominent scholars. The Section of Mathematics has been working at the Central House of Scientists for more than 50 years. Founded when Soviet mathematics was in its prime, it keeps up the traditions of national schools of mathematical research and education. The article is devoted to the history of the Section of Mathematics.
