Formation of O. I. Stepanets as a Scientist (on Archival Sources)

Abstract: The purpose of the article is to highlight the process of formation of O. I. Stepanets as a scientist, basing on the analysis of documents of his personal archival fund, stored in the Institute for Archival Studies of Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. The research methodology is based on general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, description and generalization. Methods of archival heuristics, source analysis and chronological, historical-comparative, biographical, system methods are used. The application of these methods allowed to analyze the documentary sources deposited in the personal fund of the outstanding Ukrainian mathematician, for the reconstruction of the process of becoming O. I. Stepanets as a scientist. The scientific novelty of the research is that for the first time an array of documents of the personal archival fund of the corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine O. I. Stepanets was introduced into scientific circulation, which reflect the process of his formation as a scientist. This made it possible to fill some gaps in the scientific biography of the mathematician in the early period of his scientific career. Conclusions. The documents of the personal archival fund of the corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine O. I. Stepanets are a full-fledged informative source for the reconstruction of the process of his formation as a scientist. The formation of the young scientist took place under the influence of the Ukrainian mathematical scientific environment and his persistent and purposeful desire to acquire professional knowledge and solve mathematical problems.

Keywords: O. I. Stepanets, personal archival fund, becoming a scientist, mathematics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
