Soviet mathematician and engineer, academician

was born in Riga, in a large family associate professor of the Riga Polytechnic Institute Vsevolod Mikhailovich Keldysh, a major in civil engineering, later Academician and Vice-President of the Academy of Construction and Architecture.
The father and mother of Mstislav came from noble families, knew French and German languages, playing the piano, loved music and art. They develop creative abilities of children engaged in their education.
In 1927 Mstislav entered the Moscow University in the Mathematics Department.
