The german transliteration Tschebyscheff is still in use, it is not obsolete.
Would anybody know the correct pronunciation of Chebyshev? By the cyrillic letters, it would seem as if Chebyshov might be the more correct version to spell it, cf. "Potemkin". pirogo, 2004-Nov-22
The third syllable is stressed and pronounced as "of". See the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. --Kgsteffens 14:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Conflicting B'days
I am not sure but what is Chebyshev's correct B'day? 4th May or 16th May? can anyone correct the error, since this is conflicting information in line 1 and 3 and I am not sure of the correct date.
[edit] Spelling of Name
Just for fun I entered 36 different spellings of his name into Google and tabulated the number of hits. Three forms of the first syllable - Ch, Tch, and Tsch, and twelve forms of the last syllable - shev, sheff, shov, shoff, chev, cheff, chov, choff, schev, scheff, schov and schoff. The middle syllable was eby. Results are in the table below. Then I discovered that the first syllable could also be sh, tsh or kh, the middle syllable could be eby, ebi, ebie, ebe, ebye or eba. Also the last syllable could be shef, shof chef, chof, schef or schof. This gives a total of 648 spellings, and no, I didn't. PAR 03:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

- You may have missed some, such as bya in the middle [1] or ye or yo near the end [2] [3] or single f at the end [4]. And even these obvious ones leave out popular examples such as Cebysev [5]. Some of these may be errors (and in a few cases someone else with the same name). --Henrygb 22:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
