Biography
Anosov was the son of a petty clerk, became an orphan 13 years old. When his father died he left four young children-orphans: two older brothers, Peter and Pavel, and two younger sisters. The orphans took over the education of their maternal grandfather – mining official Sabakin Lev Fedorovich which served as a mechanic in the Kama plants in Izhevsk and Votkinsk.[2]
The grandfather sent Pavel with his elder brother Peter in St. Petersburg Mining Cadet Corps in 1810. Peter died. The extraordinary abilities of Pavel was marked in the Corps and his special penchant for mathematics in which he made a great success as well as in other higher sciences.
In 1817 he completed a Mining corps (Mountain corps) and joined the Zlatoust state factories as a trainee. He took care of his younger sisters, two girls, the youngest of which soon gave in marriage. The other was remaining a virgin at the time of the death of Paul Anosov, was "in a morbid state of their home in the Ural factories".

His civil ranks in Tsar Russia had military ranks equivalents: Anosov was promoted from a trainee (it is lieutenant military rank) to Governor (it is equivalent of General) during twenty years.[2]
Anosov won world renown for his writings on the manufacture of iron and his re-discovery of the secret of damaskene lost in the Middle Ages. He explained the effect of the chemical composition, structure and treatment of steel on its properties. His findings formed the basis for the science of quality steels. Anosov summed up his studies in his now classical treatise, ‘On Damaskene’ (1841), immediately translated into German and French.
Anosov was the first to use the microscope in studies into the structure of steel (1831), thus laying the foundation for the microscopic analysis of metals.
Anosov was elected a corresponding member of the Kazan University (1844) and an honorary member of the Kharkov University (1846).
