Chapter Chapter 4 in Differential Equations of My Young Years, 2014, pp 91-128 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract When I, Vladimir Maz’ya, was still in the eighth grade I clearly understood that a failure to be admitted to “Mathmech” would be a catastrophe, and I decided to avoid it at all costs. It was necessary to be awarded a “Gold Medal”, and although school became more and more boring every year, I had to maintain my “A” student status. However, even a “Gold Medal” did not guarantee university admittance. In order to make my standing invulnerable I set myself the task of winning the city mathematics Olympiad every year. At night I had nightmares of myself not solving something.
