Evgeny Mikhailovich Lifshitz (Евгений Михайлович Лифшиц) (February 21, 1915 – October 29, 1985) was a Russian physicist. February 21 is the 52nd day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 1915 was a common year starting on Friday (see link for calendar). ... October 29 is the 302nd day of the year (303rd in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 63 days remaining. ... 1985 is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

(Some commonly encountered alternative transliterations of his names include Yegeny or Evgenii and Lifshits.) Transliteration in a narrow sense is a mapping from one system of writing into another. ...

With Lev Davidovich Landau, he co-authored a beloved series of physics textbooks, which are still widely used as of 2005. The texts are rarely referred to by their titles; more oftn as Landau and Lifshitz, or simply Landafshitz. 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. ... The willingness to question previously held truths and search for new answers resulted in a period of major scientific advancements, now known as the Scientific Revolution. ...
