Several problems of applied mathematics - celestial mechanics, geodesy and cartography - in the works of the academician M. V. Ostrogradsky, and of his scientific school (to Ostrogradsky''s Jubilee)
The scientific legacy of russian mathematicians in celestial mechanics, geodesy and cartography in the XIX century is discussed. It is known that in the XIX century celestial mechanics, geodesy and cartography were developed in Russia mainly by the works of scientists in mathematics and mechanics, the great importance among them has the prominent Russian academician and professor M. V. Ostrogradsky (1801-1862). It is known that he has written many scientific works in pure mathematics, classical and applied mechanics, hydrodynamics, elasticity theory, ballistics, celestial mechanics, geodesy, and cartography; his pedagogical work was also of high importance in Russia. Many of his pupils and colleagues in St.Petersburg and Moscow (so-called Ostrogradsky's scientific school) deal with celestial mechanics too. Academician M. V. Ostrogradsky's scientific legacy in celestial mechanics consists of 6 papers (attraction theory, perturbations theory) and one book (inanual) in celestial mechanics, some ofhis papers being not published at all. His interest in celestial mechanics appeared in 1820s during his scientific education and work in Paris and fruitful contacts and collaboration with famous FVench scientists in mathematics and mechanics of J. L. Lagrange's school (Laplace, Fourier, Poinsot, Poisson, Cauchy, Arago). In his papers in Celestial Mechanics Ostrogradsky successfully applied Lagrange's method ofarbitrary constants variation, but in his own modification for the solution of equations of celestial bodies motions. The manual of Ostrogradsky written according to his cours of lectures on celestial mechanics at St.Petersburg high schools was of great importance during the XIX century. The scientific Iegacv of Ostrogradsky concerning celestial mechanics, geodesy, and cartography is occasionally discussed at his recent bicentary. It is shown that many of Ostrogradsky's ideas were developed by his disciples and colleagues. Литература
