Peter Littlewood Peter Littlewood Peter Littlewood (born 18 May 1955) is a British physicist and Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago. He was the 13th Director of Argonne National Laboratory. He previously headed the Cavendish Laboratory as well as the Theory of Condensed Matter group and the Theoretical Physics Research department at Bell Laboratories. He gained a first-class degree in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge in 1976, and was then awarded a Kennedy Scholarship to work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for two years. He returned to Cambridge in 1977 to complete his PhD. Beginning in 1980,
School of Physics and Technology of University of Kharkiv Higher Mathematics is a successor to the Department of Theoretical Physics, which was created at the School of Physics and Mathematics of Kharkiv State University in 1933, and thus it is older than the School of Physics and Technology. Lev Landau played a crucial role in establishing the department. Here he started implementing his plans for the reorganization of training of theoretical physicists and creation of his "Course of Theoretical Physics". It was Landau who compiled the first programs for the courses on theoretical physics at the department. In 1940-1973, the department was headed by Aleksander Akhiezer, whose name is
