<!-- this was part of the lead, and made it look like the lead said something about the man's career, but it was only this crud after all --> 
<!-- His name can be alternatively [[Romanization of Russian|transcribed]] as ''Chebysheff'', ''Chebychov'', ''Chebyshov''; or ''Tchebychev'', ''Tchebycheff'' (French transcriptions); or ''Tschebyschev'', ''Tschebyschef'',  ''Tschebyscheff'' (German transcriptions); or, rarely, ''Čebyčev''.-->

The surname Chebyshev has been transliterated in several different ways, like Tchebichef, Tchebychev, Tchebycheff, Tschebyschev, Tschebyschef, Tschebyscheff, Čebyčev, Čebyšev, Chebysheff, Chebychov, Chebyshov (according to native Russian speakers, this one provides the closest pronunciation in English to the correct pronunciation in old Russian), and Chebychev, a mixture between English and French transliterations considered erroneous. It is one of the most well known data-retrieval nightmares in mathematical literature. Currently, the English transliteration ''Chebyshev'' has gained widespread acceptance, except by the French, who prefer ''Tchebychev.'' The correct [[transliteration]] according to [[ISO 9]] is ''Čebyšëv''. The  [[American Mathematical Society]] adopted the transcription ''Chebyshev'' in its [[Mathematical Reviews]].<ref>[https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/search/author.html?mrauthid=191693 Chebyshev, Pafnutiĭ L'vovich], on [[MathSciNet]].</ref>
