Felix Berezin is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Mathematical physicist; founder of supermathematics and Berezin integration
Felix Berezin was a Soviet mathematical physicist at Moscow State University who founded 'supermathematics', the systematic calculus of anticommuting (Grassmann) variables that underlies the modern description of fermions and supersymmetry. His name endures in the Berezin integral and Berezin quantization, indispensable tools in quantum field theory. He was Jewish and, facing antisemitic obstruction to his career, died in a drowning accident on the Kolyma River in 1980.
