Biography:
He was born on June 14 according to the Julian calendar (or 26 according to the Gregorian calendar) in 1814 in the Yashniki village of the Lohvytsky District of the Poltava Governorate of the Russian Empire (now Lokhvytskyi District of the Poltava Region of Ukraine) in the family of a nobleman of the Poltava Governorate.
He was left an orphan early. The older brother took Amos to Kharkiv City and sent him to a regional school there. After graduating from it, he entered the Slobid-Ukrainian gymnasium, where in 1831 he successfully completed the science course. After that, he entered the medical faculty of the Imperial Kharkiv University, but after 4 years he transferred to the physics and mathematics faculty, where he graduated with a candidate's degree.
After graduating from the university, Dyachenko was appointed in 1840 to perform the duties of a mathematics teacher at the Kamianets-Podilskyi Male Gymnasium, and in 1843 he was confirmed in this position. In 1846, he was transferred to the St. Vladimir Imperial Kyiv University to perform the duties of an adjunct professor of the department of pure and applied mathematics.
In 1849, Amos Andriyovych was given the rank of court adviser.
In 1850, Dyachenko, who passed the exams and submitted his thesis "On special solutions of differential equations", was awarded a master's degree, and in 1851, for his work "On the curvature of surfaces", he was awarded the degree of doctor of mathematics and astronomy. Both dissertations were not printed.
In 1852, Amos Andriyovych was approved as an extraordinary professor of the department of applied mathematics of the university. Dyachenko read statics and dynamics for 4 hours a week, guided by the works of Lagrange, Poisson and Duhamel. In addition, he read sketch geometry for 3 hours a week, following the works of Leroy and Vallée. In 1847 and 1848, he read algebraic analysis and the theory of equations for 4 hours a week, relying on the works of Fourier, Cauchy, Lagrange and Drobysh.
By the decree of the Heraldry of June 11, 1852, Amos Dyachenko was approved in the nobility, he was included in the second part of the genealogical book of the Poltava province.
He died on the 7th of the Julian calendar (or the 19th of the Gregorian calendar) on August 1852 in the Kyiv city from tuberculosis.
He did not leave behind any printed works.
