Aleksandr Adol'fovich Buchstab (October 4, 1905 – February 27, 1990;[1] Russian: Александр Адольфович Бухштаб, variously transliterated as Bukhstab, Buhštab, or Bukhshtab) was a Soviet mathematician who worked in number theory and was "known for his work in sieve methods".[2][3] He is the namesake of the Buchstab function, which he wrote about in 1937.[4]
