Nikolai Grigorievich Chebotaryov (often spelled Chebotarov or Chebotarev, Russian: ??????´? ?????´?????? ?????????, Ukrainian: ?????? ?????????? ??????????) (15 June [O.S.
3 June] 1894 – 2 July 1947) was a Russian and Soviet mathematician.
He is best known for the Chebotaryov density theorem.He was a student of Dmitry Grave, a Russian mathematician.
Chebotaryov worked on the algebra of polynomials, in particular examining the distribution of the zeros.
He also studied Galois theory and wrote a textbook on the subject titled Basic Galois Theory.
His ideas were used by Emil Artin to prove the Artin reciprocity law.
He worked with his student Anatoly Dorodnov on a generalization of the quadrature of the lune, and proved the conjecture now known as the Chebotaryov theorem on roots of unity.
