| Dec 1, 2018 at 9:07 | comment | added | YCor | The set of possible writings of Чебышев/Чебышёв in English is contained in the set Cheb$\{$i,y$\}$sh$\{$e,ë,o,yo$\}\{$v,f,ff$\}$. The combination Tsch-sch is German transliteration. | |

fixed Chebyshev's spelling

| Nov 22, 2017 at 8:42 | comment | added | YCor | @AlexandreEremenko it's absurd to write "Chebycheff" | |
| Jan 8, 2016 at 8:36 | comment | added | KConrad | Concerning Chebyshev, see math.tamu.edu/~boas/courses/math696/spelling-lesson.html. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 23:07 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Fedor Petrov: As I remember, this letter was introduced by Karamzin, but do not know in what year. Anyway, it seems evident that it was accepted very slowly, and still is not fully accepted:-) | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 23:03 | comment | added | Fedor Petrov | Letter ё was introduced about 30 years before his birth, but much after his family got a surname. This is why he insisted on writing Чебышев: this is a sign that his family is old. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 22:42 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Fedor Petrov: Very nice observation. Letter \"e was introduced after Chebyshev's birth. And it is still ignored in many Russian texts. I added a remark to my answer addressing your comment. | |

| Jan 7, 2016 at 18:42 | comment | added | Fedor Petrov | In Russian he is spelled Чебышев (not Чебышёв) and pronounced as Чебышёв (not Чебышев). Simple as that. | |

| Jan 6, 2016 at 16:04 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | Mathscinet authors database is very good: it is amazing how well they are able to identify various spellings of foreign authors.Unlike other databases, this one is made by people, not by computers. | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 12:12 | comment | added | Dirk | As suspected: ResearchGate and Google Scholar also have the wrong name while MathSciNet has this correct… | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 12:08 | comment | added | Dirk | @FedericoPoloni Wow, this is great! I emailed TandfF about this and let's see if they are as dedicated as MathSciNet… | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 11:27 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | @Dirk Trivia: journal websites (and the bibtex they produce) mis-spell your name even if you're the world-famous D. Knuth. The PDF has the correct spelling, though. | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 4:31 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Timothy Chow: you will be probably surprised to learn that even among the Russian speakers there is no agreement how to spell his name in Russian and even how to pronounce it. (Russian pronounciation somewhat changed since then). | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 18:57 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | The joke I've heard is that Chebyshev's Inequality states that no two mathematicians will spell his name the same way. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 18:35 | comment | added | Henry | Cheney, W. and Kincaid, D. R. Numerical Mathematics and Computing, 3rd ed. Brooks/Cole, 1994, Ex. 14, p. 16, suggests $40$ possibilities for Чебышёв but excludes many, including those which have the final vowel phonetically as o rather than e (it rhymes with the Soviet leaders Gorbachev/ov and Khrushchev/ov) | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 17:54 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | It is not well-known but Zentralblatt is partially free. I mean you can use it free with reduced features. If yu are smart, you can extract really a lot from it with these reduced features. | |

| Jan 5, 2016 at 17:44 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Fry: Mathscinet is not free. Neither most journals are. 2. I did not understand this remark of yours. But I think author's name in the reference list should match the one on his paper, abbreviated or not. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 17:42 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Dirk: you are right of course. And this does not contradict 1,2, because Mathscinet also uses this rule. The main question is what to do when the cited paper is not written in the Latin alphabet. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:18 | comment | added | user40023 | About approach 1: unfortunately, Mathscinet is not free, I'm going to add a remark to my question. About approach 2: Usually when an author write a paper he write his complete name under the title, not an abbreviation of it, so I do not understand how this could be helpful. Probably I misunderstood what you meant. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 15:07 | comment | added | Dirk | I think only the last sentence gives the correct approach (unless you are D. Knuth). | |
