Kyiv Polytechnic Institute - is not only a glorious history, outstanding alumni and renowned research and educational institution of today's world. This is a special aura that cannot be described, but it can be felt. Only to the selected ones it opens its arms, plunging into the atmosphere of learning and creation. Charming Elena Rumyantseva that in 2002 crossed the threshold of the Kiev Polytechnic for the first time, immediately fell in love with it. She walked confidently to the dream cherished since childhood - to become a mathematician. She tempered her character in school competitions and sports competitions, where received the title Master of Sports in Rhythmic Gymnastics.

On the choice she said willingly: "Starting with primary school age I wanted to work as a teacher or lecturer. Later it became clear that most captures me solve math problems exactly. Wonderful news is that the KPI is a department that prepares professionals qualifications in mathematics and physics. Therefore unhesitatingly left her house and moved to Kyiv to study. "

Helen was lucky, because the FPM there are many teachers, whose way of life, a love for  science and commitment to inspire and delight. Especially student grateful to Nina Opanasivna Virchenko (her supervisor) and Valery Vladimirovich Buldygin (he was head of the department of mathematical analysis and probability theory). During his student years were favorite subjects mathematical analysis, probability theory, the theory of special functions, mathematical physics.

The girl is not only well trained, in 2004, her grace and beauty of it all pleased to community, winning the title of "Queen of the KPI." Fans still remember her "fantasy spring" and a creative room with tape, which won the audience and judges. Elena, still believes that outer beauty - the reflection of the inner world of man. Warmth and kindness reflected on the face, it attracts others and the person attaches to the category of the beautiful.

"For the first time interest hypergeometric functions, which are an important class of functions that crocheted many contemporary issues and problems of mathematical physics, quantum field theory, probability theory, and others. Arose during the course of visiting professor Nina Opanasivna Virchenko, - says Elena. - not only interested in the subject of the course (i.e., special functions), but also with what enthusiasm, which teaches students to love Nina Opanasivna. After longer remained doubts about election topics for future research ".

Work has begun on MPhil and PhD later on that protected early. "Received high scores in the results that were reported are not many scientific conferences, symposia, published in many national and international publications (reports, NAS of Ukraine, Scientific Proceedings of the CPI, an international journal" Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis", "Integral Transforms and special Functions "and etc.)., I am indebted to my supervisor, who taught me not only to obtain mathematical results, but the hard and creative work, to understand life, to appreciate all the people found in life "- sums up the young researcher.

Now Elena Ovcharenko, Ph.D., is an assistant at the department of mathematical analysis and probability theory, focuses on research in the theory of special functions. He teaches advanced mathematics to FIVT, FMM, FBMI, remains as charming, gentle, mysterious and makes the world kinder and better.
