Yaashaa Golovanov

Welcome to Arnoldism!

A philosophy of research and teaching inspired by the Soviet-Russian mathematician V.I. Arnold. In his honor, in 2020, I established the premier international math circle, AMMOC, which has mentees from 15 countries. Within five years, my eight proteges [five pure math and three applied math] have received admissions at [Princeton, Caltech, UofChicago, UofToronto, Columbia, UC Berkeley, KAIST] with combined scholarships worth over 3.3 million USD.

You can read a very recent news article about me, my proteges and AMMOC.

"This therefore, is mathematics: she reminds you of the invisible forms of the soul; she gives life to her own discoveries; she awakens the mind and purifies the intellect; she brings to light our intrinsic ideas; she abolishes oblivion and ignorance which are ours by birth . . .", Proclus (one of the last major classical philosophers of late antiquity )

About Me

I am a mathematician, born in 1993, and the current director of AMMOC, an international program cultivating young mathematicians from six continents and seventeen countries. Broadly, I work in the fields of geometric analysis, calculus of variations, and mathematical physics. In particular, I am interested in scientific works of Russian mathematician Vladimir Igorevich Arnold, and Canadian-American mathematcian, Jerrold E. Marsden. I spent an year and half, during 2016-2018, for studies in advanced pure mathematics at the Chennai Mathematical Institute, one of the foremost institute of fundamental research in India. I have been a visitor [for over five years] at the Harish Chandra Research Institute (one of the world's leading center in mathematics and theoretical physics) for my research.

AMMOC - An International Math Circle.

Cultivating young mathematicians from 6 continents and 17 countries!

Since May 2020, I have devoted my entire time to my international program AMMOC to nurture generations of young mathematicians and scientists for career in mathematics and mathematical sciences. Five of my proteges received full scholarships [as international students to the USA] to study UG in pure mathematics at

Princeton University [Sarthak Dhobale],
California Institute of Technology [Tisya Rawat]. Caltech houses the NASA"s Jet propulsion laboratory.
University of Chicago [Konstantinos Charalampous],
University of Toronto [Adelina], and
Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology [Nihad Hashimov].
