'''Israel Moiseevich Gelfand''', also written '''Israïl Moyseyovich Gel'fand''', or '''Izrail M. Gelfand''' ({{lang-yi|ישראל געלפֿאַנד}}, {{lang-ru|Изра́иль Моисе́евич Гельфа́нд}}; {{OldStyleDate|2 September|1913|20 August}} – 5 October 2009) was a famous [[USSR|Soviet]] [[mathematician]]. He worked on many branches of mathematics, including [[group theory]] and other areas related to [[differential equations]].
He received many awards, including the [[Order of Lenin]] and the first [[Wolf Prize]], he was also a Foreign [[Fellow of the Royal Society]] and professor at [[Moscow State University]], and worked at [[Rutgers University]] after immigrating to the United States shortly before his 76th birthday.
