"With Abstruse Mathematics as a Tool, 2 Brothers Tackle Real-World Problems," by Vincent Kiernan. Chronicle of Higher Education, 20 March 1998, pages A20-21.

This article discusses the lives and work of mathematicians David and Gregory Chudnovsky. Brilliant and idiosyncratic, the two brothers emigrated to the U.S. in 1977 from the Soviet Union and have worked together on mathematics all their lives. The article describes some of the Chudnovskys' recent use of computers in their mathematical research.
