Shoshana Kamin (Russian: Шошана Камин, Hebrew: שושנה קמין) (born December 24, 1930),^[1] born Susanna L'vovna Kamenomostskaya (Russian: Сусанна Львовна Каменомостская),^[1][2] is a Soviet-born Israeli mathematician, working on the theory of parabolic partial differential equations and related mathematical physics problems.

Shoshana Kamin graduated from Moscow University in 1953 and earned her "candidate of science" degree from the same university in 1959,^[1] under the supervision of Olga Oleinik.^[3] She and her two sons left the Soviet Union in the early 1971. After that she became a professor in Tel Aviv University,^[4] where she is now professor emeritus.^[5]

In the late 1950s, she gave the first proof of the existence and uniqueness of the generalized solution of the three-dimensional Stefan problem.^[6] Her proof was generalised by Oleinik.^[7]

Later, she made important contributions to the study of the porous medium equation,^[8]

and to non-linear elliptic equations.^[9]

In this paper and in the paper (Oleinik 1960), the first existence and uniqueness proofs for the generalized solution of the three-dimensional Stefan problem are given.

According to Vázquez (2007, p. 15) this is one of the most important papers in the asymptotic theory of the porous medium equation. Also, perhaps for the last time ever, she signed this work with both her present and former surnames, precisely writing "S. Kamin (Kamenomostskaya)".

The "Mathematics in the USSR 1958–1967" is a two–volume continuation of the opus "Mathematics in the USSR during its first forty years 1917–1957" and describes the developments of Soviet mathematics during the period 1958–1967. Precisely it is meant as a continuation of the second volume of that work and, as such, is titled "Biobibliography" (evidently an acronym of biography and bibliography). It includes new biographies (when possible, brief and complete) and bibliographies of works published by new Soviet mathematicians during that period, and updates on the work and biographies of scientist included in the former volume, alphabetically ordered with respect to author's surname.
