Berezin

Berezin is a Russian surname. The feminine form is Berezina. The name is used by various individuals in Russia and the former Soviet Union, and it has become associated with several concepts in mathematics and theoretical physics through one of its bearers.

The most prominent figure associated with the name is Felix Abramovich Berezin (1931–1980), a Soviet mathematician

Two mathematical constructs bearing the Berezin name arise from his work in supermathematics. The Berezin integral,
