Abstract
This article is devoted to the life and scientific activity of the famous historian of mathematics Margarita Babkenovna Nalbandyan (1931-2004). Whose 90th anniversary is celebrated on September 3. The key points of her biography are considered against the background of the history of the development of the Rostov mathematical school, which began to form in 1915 after the Warsaw University moved to Rostov-on-Don. The Faculty of Physics and Mathematics
(phizmat), which survived the revolution and the civil war, numerous reorganizations and various reforms, was replenished with its own talented graduates in the 20s-30s, and after returning from evacuation in 1944, it successfully began to restore status of one of the leading soviet mathematical centers. 50s of the XX century, which coincided with the student youth of
M. B. Nalbandyan, are considered one of the best in the history of phizmat (mehmat).
The article analyzes the main works on the history of the development of the theory of elliptic functions in Russia (they were published in the late 60s-early 70s) and materials related to the biography of the famous mathematician, the founder of the Rostov mathematical school, D.D. Mordukhai-Boltovsky, which M. B. Nalbandyan collected and published for many years.
Special attention is paid to the cooperation of Margarita Babkenovna with leading Soviet historians of mathematics, among whom we can mention G.P.Matviyevskaya and E.P. Ozhigova.
In conclusion the fate of the scientific heritage and the home archive is considered.
