	Lev Davidovich Landau - Definition, explanation
		Lev Davidovich Landau (Ле́в Дави́дович Ланда́у) (January 22, 1908 – April 1, 1968) was a prominent Soviet physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics whose broad field of work included the theory of superconductivity and superfluidity, quantum electrodynamics, nuclear physics and particle physics.
		Lev was a prodigy in mathematics when he was a child.
		Landau was still only fourteen years old when he entered Baku University (later called the Kirov Azerbaijan State University) in 1922 and by this time he was already enthusiastic about mathematics, physics and chemistry.

	Lev Davidovich Landau
		Lev Davidovich Landau (Russian language: Ле́в Дави́дович Ланда́у) (January 22, 1908 –; April 1, 1968) was a prominent Soviet physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics whose broad field of work included the theory of superconductivity and superfluidity, quantum electrodynamics, nuclear physics and particle physics.
		Lev Davidovich Landau was born in Baku, in the Jewish family of a petroleum engineer who worked on the Baku oil fields.
		Landau’s scientific style was free of the – unfortunately fairly widespread – tendency to complicate simple things (often on the grounds of generality and rigor which, however, usually turn out to be illusory).

		Landau graduated at 13 from the Gymnasium and, because he was too young to go to the university, attended the Baku Economical Technical School.
		Landau subsequently enrolled for post-graduate study at the Leningrad Physico-Technical Institute and at 21 recieved a doctorate.
		Landau always considered himself a pupil of Bohr's, and his attitude to physics was greatly influenced by Bohr's example.

	Lev Landau at AllExperts
		Landau was born January 22, 1908 into a Jewish family in Baku, Azerbaijan.
		Recognized very early as a child prodigy in mathematics, Landau was quoted as saying in later life that he scarcely remembered a time when he was not familiar with calculus.
		Apart from his theoretical accomplishments, Landau was the principal founder of a great tradition of theoretical physics in the Soviet Union, sometimes referred to as the "Landau school".

		In 1932 Landau went to Kharkov (now Kharkiv) to become the head of the Theoretical Division of the Ukrainian Physico-Technical Institute, a position he combined in 1935 with that of head of the Department of General Physics at the Kharkov A.M. Gorky State University.
		Landau's attitude to physics and physicists was critical; he did not suffer fools gladly.
		Landau's contributions are partly reflected in such terms as Landau diamagnetism and Landau levels in solid-state physics, Landau damping in plasma physics, the Landau energy spectrum in low-temperature physics, or Landau cuts in high-energy physics.

	Lev Landau - Biography
		Lev Davidovic Landau was born in Baku on January 22, 1908, as the son of an engineer and a physician.
		Simultaneously he taught constantly as a professor of theoretical physics in the Kharkov and Moscow State Universities.
		After P.L. Kapitsa's discovery, in 1938, of the superfluidity of liquid helium, Landau began extensive research which led him to the construction of the complete theory of the "quantum liquids" at very low temperatures.

		In 1937, at the suggestion of Peter Kapitza, Landau was invited to join his Institute for Physical Problems in Moscow; in 1943 he became professor of physics at Moscow University.
		Involved in a serious car accident in 1962, Landau was unable to attend the Nobel ceremony, and although he lived another six years was unable to do any creative work.
		In addition to his theoretical work, Landau is well known in the West for his much-translated multi-volume encyclopedic Course in Theoretical Physics, written in collaboration with his pupil E. Lifshitz and first published in 1938.

		In the spring of 1937 Landau moved to Moscow where he became head of the Theoretical Division of the Institute of Physical Problems which had not long before been established under the direction of P.L.Kapitza.
		It was there, in a remarkable interaction with experimental research, that Landau created what may be the outstanding accomplishment of his scientific life-the theory of quantum fluids.
		It was there also that he received the numerous outward manifestations of the recognition of his contributions.
