[Math] Correct spelling of names, Chebyshev and Cholesky

Question

I'm writing a paper on orthogonal polynomials and I have to cite results by Chebyshev and Cholesky. I found several and different transliterations from Russian. I wonder if there is a standard and accepted way to spell them. Thanks

Answer 1

Here you can hear the pronounce by a Russian speaking person.

As to the romanization, which usually does have a standard form in any language, I'd use the one of the language you are writing in your paper. In English it is Chebyshev (not Cheby_ch_ev). You can see the corresponding versions switching to other languages from the linked article in en.wikipedia (list of languages on the left).
