Background and Objectives: In the history of physics and mathematics education at Saratov State University in the 1920s–1950s,the personality of Georgy P. Boev (November 25, 1898 – July 8, 1959) occupies a prominent place. He was one of the first students and graduates of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics opened at the university in 1917, its first graduate student, the first dean of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, and the first scientific director of the computer center of Saratov State University. The article describes the various stages of the creative biography of Georgy P. Boev: the period of study and work as a lecturer at Saratov State University in 1917–1930, the period of work as a professor and head of the department of mathematics at the Ivanovo Textile Institute (1930–1934), the second period of work at Saratov State University as a professor and head of mathematics departments (1934–1959), as well as acting director of the Research Institute of Mathematics, Mechanics and Physics at Saratov State University (1939–1941), dean of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (1943–1945), dean of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics (1945–1947), Vice-Rector of Saratov State University for Academic Affairs (1947–1950), scientific director of the problem laboratory “Computing Center” (1957–1959). Materials and Methods: The presentation of the biography of Georgy P. Boev is based on archival materials, his personal notes and memories of colleagues, and an analysis of his scientific heritage. Conclusion: The article pays tribute to the extraordinary personality of Georgy P. Boev and at the same time serves as an illustration of the historical conditions that developed in the field of higher education in the country in which he was destined to live and work.
