Svante August Arrhenius (1859 – 1927) was a Swedish scientist. Originally a physicist, but often referred to as a chemist, Arrhenius was one of the founders of the science of physical chemistry. He received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1903, becoming the first Swedish Nobel laureate. In 1905, he became the director of the Nobel Institute, where he remained until his death.

Arrhenius was the first to use the principles of physical chemistry to estimate the extent to which increases in the atmospheric carbon dioxide are responsible for the Earth's increasing surface temperature. His work played an important role in the emergence of modern climate science. In the 1960s, Charles David Keeling demonstrated that the quantity of human-caused carbon dioxide emissions into the air is enough to cause global warming.

The Arrhenius equation, Arrhenius acid, Arrhenius base, lunar crater Arrhenius, Martian crater Arrhenius, the mountain of Arrheniusfjellet, and the Arrhenius Labs at Stockholm University were so named to commemorate his contributions to science.

The publishing house MATHESIS was founded in Odessa in 1904. The founders were assistant professors of the Imperial Novorossiysk University of Mathematics Venyamin Falkovich Kagan, Samuil Osipovich Shatunovsky, astronomer Artemy Robertovich Orbinsky and the owner of the printing house Moses Lipovich (Filippovich) Shpentzer (1860-1927). M.F. Shpentzer was the chairman of the "Mathesis" partnership. The publishing mark was made by the famous artist A. A. Zhdakha
